We did not receive the required signature from the SDA yesterday, so our earliest court date is now Monday, May 7th, assuming we receive the signature today (which is expected!). Surprisingly, we are neither anxious nor frustrated with the delay. We are surprised out how little time we have spent on adoption activities. To date, we have had 4 meetings lasting less than 2 hours total. It reminds us of the old hockey games, when some would say that you went to a fight hoping a hockey game broke out. For us, we are enjoying our vacation together in Berdyansk and expect that an adoption will occur at some point.
We continue our daily routine with one variation. Elizabeth had to return to school yesterday, so we bring her to the orphanage around 7:45 in the morning and pick her up at 2:30 in the afternoon. Other than her time at school, she is allowed to spend all of her time with us. This, of course, pleases all of us. We are having a great time together and the family dynamics are working out beautifully. Elizabeth had a stretch of about 4 hours on Sunday when she was in a mood, but she worked her way out of it and that has been only setback with her.
