Patti and I went to court this morning; everything went very well! The judge granted our request to become Daniel's legal parents! It was a very big day for us! The court proceeding was a lot like the MOE interview except it was much more formal. We were in the courtroom for about 20 minutes.
We then returned to the baby house and had a small party with the doctors. This afternoon, we had another small party with Daniel's nannies that work in his room. The nannies told us that Daniel was shown to several adoptive parents and were all very surprised when he was returned to the room. They all thought that Daniel would be adopted quickly because he was such a happy and active little boy. When he would be brought in to see other prospective parents, he would become freightened and/or overwhelmed and start to cry very loudly! It seems as if Daniel was waiting just for us to come and get him!! We're very glad he did!! He is the perfect child for us!
Patti has done a lot of packing tonight. We will begin our trip home tomorrow afternoon and complete our 44 hour journey back home. We will return to Karaganda in about 3 weeks to bring the new addition to our family home! We can't wait to start our new lives together!

Congratulations. Such wonderful news.
Congratulations!!
Congrats - your son is a sweetie pie. He has a slight look of our Orin when we first met him in Almaty region in April 2006......lots of hair......LARGE eyes and oh so serious!!! For the record our Kazmanian devil is now full of divilment, personality and spunk and hard to believe he was once the serious, small, skinny, QUIET, CALM baby we met!!
Hope your time away from your son flies by.

PS If you get a chance go back to the oldest albums in our BLOG and look at photos of Orin from when we met him.....you will see some similiarities.
