So excited that we received our court date today. We will be heading back to Russia for our court date. We were a little disappointed to have it so late in August but that is overshadowed by our joy of just having a date given to us. While it isn't our preferred time frame, it is one step closer to bringing the girls home. This second trip will be a much shorter trip than the last one (I am afraid the jet lag is going to kill me on this one!) about 3-4 days. On the court date, the Russian government will officially declare the girls ours and give them new birth certificates with Eric and I as their parents and their last names will be Collier! However, Russia has a mandatory waiting period of 10 business days before we can take the girls from the orphanage. Our third trip will be another long trip as we have to spend 6 days in St. Petersburg for paperwork and 3-4 days in Moscow for more paperwork. So much bureaucracy! We are just thankful for God's hand in every detail that has allowed us to enjoy every moment of this journey.
