Hello from Russia...

We are here and I am very tired. It is not even 8 pm and I will go to bed shortly! We are settled in our room...it is Weds. evening here and I just wanted to give a few quick updates. Tomorrow, Thursday morning, I will be taken to see Victoria at 8:30 am. It is about an hour to the orphanage from the hotel. She is aware that I am adopting her, but does not know I am coming tomorrow. They will let her know in the morning. We will come back to the hotel around noon, discuss court and prep. needed. Court will be the following day, Friday, at 10 am. It feels good to finally be here. The next couple of days will be busy and after that lots of time on my hands. Hopefully, Victoria will be able to come and stay at the hotel after the court hearing....we will see! I am excited to see her tomorrow!!!
