One of our facilitators will be there to confirm we are in that batch, and we are hoping to fly out tomorrow and have a court date scheduled for Friday. He seems to think this is possible, but I just emailed him to get his take on all this. Our judge goes on vacation next week, so we HAVE to know that court can for sure be on Friday. Our updates are at www.enelsons.com for those interested.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07536778729794341373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736906635379757139.post-54248327182864131082010-02-23T08:48:33.363-08:002010-02-23T08:48:33.363-08:00Hi~ the difference between the Interpol and the Co...Hi~ the difference between the Interpol and the Court is that Interpol a like a background check for the International Police, where the court is the actual court appearance you make in Ukraine before the judge to get custody of the child. It was on hold because of the new Presidential elections and the losing side of the election was contesting the results, but as of today, she has dropped the suit. Hopefully, this will help straighten the court appointments out over there. I don't know of anyone else getting their court dates. We were told March 4th at the EARLIEST.<br /><br />JodiJodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665816593780393953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736906635379757139.post-4466437688252818432010-02-23T04:23:29.923-08:002010-02-23T04:23:29.923-08:00you guys are crazy! should have known your train r...you guys are crazy! should have known your train ride and flights home would be another adventure!!Nan and Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944183191479623946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736906635379757139.post-63116129727409476032010-02-23T03:58:45.067-08:002010-02-23T03:58:45.067-08:00Thank you for posting all of this!!

Now I'm more concerned after hearing from you that they aren't even issuing court dates. Is anyone else getting court dates that you know of?

But Ukraine just had a new presidential election and as a result there is alot of political unrest with the changing of parties. The losing party is also contesting the results. What this means is that there is no court. No jurors are being appointed to the courtroom. Therefore, we cannot get a court date and we had to come home with out him, and return when we do get a confirmed date. I don't know how long that will take. In our region (20) the ten days is waived, because we pay $1000 to get it waived. I didn't know that until we got there,and we paid it and ended up having to stay a month anyway. Does that help? If you have any more questions, just ask!<br /><br />JodiJodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665816593780393953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736906635379757139.post-39980923202171478212010-02-22T16:38:39.295-08:002010-02-22T16:38:39.295-08:00Oh wow!

So did everything that was supposed to happen, happen as far as the adoption or did something unusual happen. Were you hoping to get the 10 days waived and bring your son home right away or again, did something unusual happen. I'm just trying to prepare myself for the near future. Also, how many days did your first trip end up being in Ukraine?The Sanchez Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02193773268823617205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1736906635379757139.post-10116636625445946902010-02-22T16:33:01.689-08:002010-02-22T16:33:01.689-08:00Kristin, that was SO nice of you to pray for them,...Kristin, that was SO nice of you to pray for them, thank you!
