Well, we have court tomorrow morning at 10:30 in the a.m. Which is about 2:30 a.m. for everyone in America. So, hopefully by the time most people wake up we will be done with court. I understand court takes about 40 minutes to an hour. There is a prosecutor involved (I think it is quite different than a prosecutor in the U.S.), a social worker from the baby home, the judge, and us. I have a "speech" prepared that I think and hope will answer the usual questions asked by the judge. Please keep us in your prayers today as we prepare for quite a big day tomorrow.
Oh, and we saw Andrew today! I am calling him Pavel (Paul) right now because that is his Russian name I will use in court tomorrow. He now has 2 more teeth (top row). He has grown and is getting stronger. We certainly have some feeding to catch him up on, though. We were complete strangers to him again but by the end of our visit, he was really warming up to us and even making a few sounds. I will be glad to have the 10 days over with. We have a different translator this time and she asked the staff at the baby home if we could take him outside. It was so nice to be outdoors with him. I am fairly certain this was one of the first times he was outdoors just for fun.
I will post more tomorrow. Thank you all again for your prayers!!!

What a journey.
Thank you for sharing on many levels.
My thoughts and prayers, hope and desire is what you and Vernon hope that very soon you will be holding Andrew in Charlotte!
Hang in there and breathe deeply. The journey is long, exhaustive, but it will be amazing and worth every sleepless night you have had and will have in the future with Andrew keeping you up.
Much love and blessings in Moscow,
