Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The appeals court approved my adoption and Vacya will hopefully be with me by the end of the week. There is no official waiting period, just as long as it takes for the court to prepare our documents, which could be up to 5 days. Andrei thinks we should get them by Friday. We are all very excited and relieved. Hopefully there will be no more delays and we can be home in a few weeks.

I can't even believe it! I was just sick with anxiety all day yesterday waiting for the outcome today. I'm so happy and relieved! YAY JAIME! I'm so proud of you, and Joey, too! I talked to him and to Beki this morning. Joe just sounded giggly on the phone - he was so happy. I can't wait to see you all safe and sound at home!

XOXOXOXOX

Wagers, the three of you have shown what family is ALL about. Never give up and love conquers all! Congratulations on your bouncing big baby boy!

Vacya, I will never meet you but I know that you must be a very special guy and well worth the wait. Can't wait to see pics of you in America! Congratulations on your new family.

Yes!!! I was so excited to see the news. Ian and Gianna will be jumping for joy when they get home from school. We can't wait to meet Vacya. I hope that the rest of the paperwork that needs to be done can be done quickly so as to get you home soon. Love You, Julie

Absolutely awesome! I have been holding my breath as I am about to begin the journey of adopting my 13yr old son as a married "single."

Well Holy Moly!!! I was wondering if this would ever happen. The Lords timing is perfect and you two have had a lot of time to get used to the idea of being parents! I am so excited for your family. Keep the updates coming as I will be curious to hear how the adjustments go. Congratulations!!!
