Wednesday morning at 10 a.m., we had our second court appearance. We were nervous. We didn't want any additional issues made out of Trav's passport. Fortunately, there were not. The judge asked for the passport right away, and after looking at it, she continued asking us questions about our family. You could hear the collective sigh of relief in the room...we were moving on! We gave her the required photo album of family pictures, and she asked to take 4 pictures, including a family picture of us with Anya, and another with Pete. We obliged. Our interview lasted an hour, and then the judge left the room for only a moment to make her decision.
It's official. We are the parents of one Peter Alexander Raish!
The stress was beginning to melt away. Thank you God. This day could not have ended any better. We went to Teremok orphanage and told Pete the great news. We spent one last hour and a half with him and enjoyed every minute.
In 30 days time we'll return to Tver, and Pete will be part of our family, forever.
