Finally, the post you've all been waiting for, and me too!!! Yes! I have a court date. Wahooooooo.
I got the call yesterday afternoon just before I had to go into work for a short shift. Court is scheduled for February 10th. The day after my birthday. Close enough for me to call it one of the greatest birthday presents yet. I am so excited, not really sure what to do first.
If anyone has traveled to Krasnoyarsk lately for court, please email me privately to let me know as much info as you can about what to expect from the Judges. I am a little nervous about that part. Also, how many different outfits did most of you take for your child? Any helpful packing tips are also always welcome.
I am still waiting for confirmation from my adoption agency about travel dates so I can get the passports and visa information sent out and by the plane tickets. Hopefully I will hear something real soon. As far as I can tell, I think I will be leaving on February 4th for Moscow.
Thanks again to everyone out there praying for me. Just a little longer now and this dream of mine to start a family will soon become true.

Congrats Shannon! I saw you had an update and was hoping that it was good news! I know you are so excited! Have a fun weekend celebrating!
Congratulations. I'm so excited to hear that you got your court date.
As for packing, don't overpack. It makes traveling in the airports more difficult with a little one. Your daughter will be wearing her coat most of the time anyway, so no one will know that she wore the same outfit several times. Seems they do this in Russia anyways.
Best wishes!!
Please email me.......I returned from Kras on Dec 6 08 and can give you lots of info on court....I too am single and adopted a boy 21 months old!

Congratulations!!! Such exciting news for you. I 2nd what Carrie said, pack very light. We took a few too many fancy little girl clothes and not enough comfy pjs for just hanging out in the hotel room. Plan on taking a whole box of plain cheerios! (They travel better in a ziplock bag.)
That is so wonderful! I have been thinking of you and wondering when it was going to happen. I am sooo excited for you and don't worry, all the important things will get done in time. Enjoy the preparation!
