Tomorrow Is Court

This was the last day at the orphanage before court, we played cards, skyped Russie and Cheri with Nostya D., she loved seeing her and Vika's bedroom. She was in awe. Vika D. didn't get to see her room she was at the hospital, the kids said that at Age 13 everyone has to spend a week in the hospital getting tests. Must be pretty extensive from how they were describing it. We also Skyped Ana at school so her friends and previous art teacher could speak to her. Everyone was excited to talk to her. Of course they reverted back to calling her Nostya, I am not sure how the new America names will be applied or if they will all call each other by their Ukrainain names. I can hardly imagine Artur being called anything other than Salt. The kids looked at pictures from when they were at camp at the lodge and laughed at pictures of family in costume at the Halloween Party. Isaac and Russie's costumes were the big hits for laughs with them. Lena is nervous for court tomorrow she is afraid they will not let her be adopted. We tried to put her mind at ease and explained what questions she would be asked and assured her everything would be ok. Pray for us tomorrow we have a 10:00 Am and noon court date one for Tina and Dusty and one for us. We do not know which time is which yet, we will go together to court. Cindy and Eric will be arriving by train with Syvette in the morning. They will be staying with us in our apartment. Can't wait to see them. They will get to go to the orphanage tomorrow to meet with the director about Dema and will get to see him. I wish I could watch their joy when they are reunited for the first time. At the top are the pictures of Andre when we saw him yesterday.
