Prep for Court

This morning was the last visit with Cam before court tomorrow morning. We explained that we probably wouldn't see him until the afternoon tomorrow - though we're not sure if he understood. He kind of looked at us like, "Okay, can I play now?"

So, tomorrow's the big day. Our plans for this afternoon include: re-reading the info we need for court tomorrow, making sure our clothes are ready to go, and cleaning the apartment. We were able to find bleach at the grocery, so we'll be using that on the floors, tub, etc.

At lunch today, we were told that there's a good chance that we won't be able to take custody until the waiting period is over (15 days!) because a local woman is also going to court tomorrow and she will not be taking custody. Our coordinator is going to try talking to the director to see if something can be worked out. We've got our fingers crossed, but we're no longer optimistic that we'll have him full-time until mid-Aug. : ( Very sad faces here.

We'll update tomorrow as soon as we can on our court appearance - and also what the next two weeks will be like (taking the bus to see the boy everyday or taking care of him here). Thanks to everyone for all of your thoughts and prayers! It means a lot - and unfortunately, we're not out of the woods yet.


Cam concentrating. "Why can't she just read it to me in Russian?"
