This is us by SDA building (on the right).
Well, we met our wonderful attorney and her husband the day before our appointment with the SDA. She is a very nice lady and very experienced and knows what she is doing. Also very respected at the SDA.
We had our appointment at 10:30AM. We were called into the office and set down to talk to one of the workers. We were showed 2 files of our boys and just asked 2 simple questions, such as how do you know the boys and do they already know that you are here to adopt them. We showed the ladies our album, and one of the workers remembered our daughter whom we adopted in 2006. She used to work for the childrens police and remembers filing all the papers for her when she was found on the street. Everyone was very nice and sweet. Our whole appointment lasted for about 7 minutes, if that!
After the appointment, our attorney went to take a copy of the dossier and we were off to eat lunch. After lunch we came to the orphanage to collect some paperwork and our attorney, went back to the SDA to pick up our official "referral" and then to inspectors office. On Saturday morning, we are going to the Notary to get some papers notarized. Since the boys are over the age of 10 , they will need to write a letter stating that they want to be adopted by us.
Everything is great here, our baby still wakes up in the middle of the night and wants to eat and play... We get to spend time with the boys everyday. They go to school, after school they do their homework, and come to our room to eat and chat (and most of the time take many of their friends). So our room is pretty open to everyone any time of the day, we love it though!
Yesterday evening Aleks and I went to walk around their town. We went to the local store and then he showed me his school. Dima comes after school to us, to get help with his English homework...his grade is going up in English..hmmm... We dont know yet, when we want to take them out of school officially...Most likely they will go to school for one more week and then they will be done.. We want to travel during our 10 day waiting period and take them with us.
Keep praying so that our whole adoption process goes smoothly and there are no hold ups...Many blessings to all of you!
