Court

We woke up a little earlier today in anticipation of Viktor coming to our apartment to tell us how things would go in court.  When he arrived, he went over the questions that may be asked in the court and schooled us in the proper way to answer the questions.  David and Ingrid were with us in the apartment and they were the first couple to go to the court.  Holly and I waited in the apartment for our taxi to arrive.  David called to tell us they had finished and the judge had not asked them any questions, so there court had gone smoothly.  Our taxi arrived at 3:20pm and we were on our way.  When we arrived Jack and Laura were in court and we would follow them.  When our turn came it we had the same experience as David and Ingrid.  We answeres yes or no for a handful of questions and the judge left to deliberate.  After about 5 minutes he was back and said we were approved to adopt Masha.  Now we wait again.  According to law we have to wait 10 days to allow for a complaint against the decision then we get her passport, then take the train to Kiev for her Medical screening and visa aplication.  On the second day in Kiev we pick up the visa and come home.  We are getting closer!
