All of the documents recently requested by the judge are on their way to Tomsk. In record time (thank you, God) we were able to pull all of the documents together, get them apostilled and on their way. We will get the routing number tomorrow so we can follow it on its way to Tomsk. Please pray it travels well and makes it to Tomsk in good time.

Our coordinator has scanned copies of everything and thinks it all looks great for what the judge wants. We are hoping she will give us a court date once she has the documents. We are hearing that the prosecutor can be pretty tough. Please pray even now for us for our court. We are anxious to get a court date and praying it won't be difficult. Friends who recently went through court had three different sessions over three days. It was pretty grueling with the prosecutor questioning their decision to adopt.

We are having a great time with Ben. He is so much fun. Just before snapping this picture, he and Applesauce had been snuggling on the couch. The minute I grabbed the camera, Ben had to look up and say "cheese!".
