As you can tell, court went well today! We didn't understand a lot of what was going on, but the final announcement was that the judge agreed with our adoption and that Jenya would be ours. And of course Catherine's went well too. The judge didn't get in until almost 10:30 instead of 9am, so we were in court until 12:30. Afterwards we went and saw Jenya for about an hour and then had a tea party with the doctors. Since we hadn't eaten yet and it was now 2pm, we were starving! Especially Rick, who definitely ate his share of lunch. Everyone was laughing at him because he was so hungry, but Natasha translated that they like men with big appetites, it makes them stonger! The coordinator, Tamara, who spoke on behalf of all of us for the adoption, also attended the luncheon, which was really nice. She is usually too busy to be there, but she was able to today. We even got big hugs from her at the end. I think they are all really happy that things went well and told us that we are welcome to come back again for another baby! Wouldn't that be great??
Anyway, we have one more visit today for about 2 hours and another tea party with the caregivers. I will try to post some pics later on tonight before we leave for Almaty. We just wanted to share our wonderful news!!
There i go crying again!!!
ReplyDeleteWe can't wait to welcome you home Jenya Marie Deyo. Congrats to you both Mommy and Daddy Deyo. And Congrats to Catherine and Tyler too.
HORRAY!!! CONGRATULATIONS MOMMY, DADDY and JENYA MARIE DEYO!!!!!!! We are so very, very happy that all went well in court today. Of course, we all knew that it would. God answers prayers and in such a powerful way. Daddy was awake around 2 am this morning saying the Divine Chaplet for you which would have been 12noon your time. What timing. I wasn't expecting a blog and was so excited to see you on it. My heart is full of happiness that this day was so successful and you officially are parents of a beautiful little girl. This is the day that you dreaded the most but now is the most wonderful day of your lives. Thank you for my beautiful, wonderful, adorable, fabulous, incredible...granddaughter. Can't think of any more words to describe her but you know what I mean:) :) :) Love you all so much that you must all feel my kisses and hugs.
ReplyDeleteI read April's comment and totally forgot to congratulate Catherine and Tyler. I got so excited for you. Please extend our congratulations and best wishes to Catherine also. It is such a great day for all of you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you all! My heart lit up when I saw "Jenya Marie Deyo" it looks and sounds so good! I am sure you cannot stop smiling! We all knew they would love you guys as parents but it must be a relief for it to be over now. Enjoy your afternoon visit with your little girl!
ReplyDeleteMy heart NEVER had a doubt, that this judge would not approve this adoption. Because it was NEVER his decession to make. It was "already a done deal"(paraphrasing) God is in total control. I pray that "your heart not be troubled or be afraid". and that you will have peace and comfort until the day you are all home together. Congratulations Nonna & Poppa!!! and Mr & Mrs Deyo!!! and Catherine also.
