Court Date

Well, we were supposed to be having our court hearing today, but some criminal case was scheduled for this morning, so the judge could not see us.  We just found this out yesterday when we called Andrei.  I guess he's known since April 26 that it was possible that we might not actually be able to go to court today, but for some reason he didn't tell us about it.  He said that we should still be able to have it sometime this week, but we don't even know that for sure.  

We also were not able to see Vacya yesterday or today.  His caregivers are saying that he climbed up on the roof or something, which I'm not really sure is even true, so they won't let us see him.  They said he is out of control and needs to calm down.  We called Andrei to see if he could talk to somebody to get things worked out so that we could still see Vacya, but he wasn't able to do anything to help.  He doesn't have authority over the caregivers and has not been able to talk to the director to let him know what's going on.  

Shelby suggested that we request to have the 10 day waiting period waived since the laws changed while we were here and we weren't planning on being in Ukraine this long.  Sometimes they will waive the 10 day waiting period after the court date for medical reasons, but we're not sure if they will in our case.  It can't hurt to try though.
