Angelina Claire is Ours!!

All of our prayers were answered! The judge said yes! Aleksey took us to the court house this morning and the chief Dr. from the orphanage, Xana, (the interpreter),and the social worker were all there also. Aleksey could not come into the courtroom. Kevin was the only man in there. We waited nervously for the judge to arrive, and all at once she came rushing in and court began. Kevin had to talk first, and he didn't understand that he was supposed to give his speech then. So all his worry for nothing. I had to talk also, and each of us got asked a lot of questions. First by the judge, and then by prosecuter. We were veru nervous, and it seemed like we didn't give good answers. But in the end the judge granted us the adoption, and waived the 10 days. All the things we worried about didn't even come up as questions. Answer to prayers.... This afternoon we will stay here, maybe go shopping, I hope. Tommorrow morning we will take cakes to the Dr. and caregivers in the orphanage, and take Angelina with us. I can't believe she is actually our daughter! Now we will wait for her passport. If we get it Friday, we will fly to Moscow on Sat. morn.
