Blake’s Readoption is complete!

Today has been a day of great news. One piece of good news that I can pass on to other PAP’s is that we got a message today from one of our facilitators in Russia. They are expecting families in July and August. So it doesn’t sound like there will be two months worth of ‘off’ time -- for vacations anyway.

Today was our court date for Blake’s readoption hearing. It lasted about 5 minutes. Justin was the only one that had to take the stand. He just had to say yes. Yes he is married, yes we live at…, yes we wish to readopt Blake, yes, yes, yes. Then the judge just asked me if I am Heather and if I agreed with all of the answers that Justin gave. Very simple. We should have certified copies of his new ‘birth’ certificate in a few weeks.

Blake 'took the stand' after we were all done.  We explained that this is the only time we would like to see him on the stand!  :o)
Blake with the judge.  This judge is retiring and this in one of the last cases he will be hearing.




In other exciting news, my sister Glennda found out today that she gets to start a new job on Monday and some of the most exciting news….. my youngest sister Dyan found out today that she is pregnant with TWINS!! We are so excited for our family!
