Yes! We have a court date!

We just heard from Zhenia that we have a confirmed court date of Thursday the 3rd at 3pm.  Yea!

This means we will leave Izmyil on Thursday after court and drive to Odessa to catch the overnight train to Kiev.  We will then fly out on Friday and arrive home on Saturday.  Just in time to put Cliff on another plane to Atlanta for the Board meeting.  Still trying to figure out how THAT will work, but at least he will BE there!  On time!

For future planning, our 10 day waiting period (we don't expect a longer one) should be up on Sunday the 13th, so I will need to be on the ground in Izmyil on the 14th to pick up the court decree and head to the town where the kids were born to get their birth certificates and other documents.  If that goes well, "Gotcha Day" could be the 15th.  We will still have more to do before we can come home, but we should be back around the 23rd (hopefully before!).
