I went to court Friday, after it was moved from Thursday, and they awarded custody. Yeah!!!!! And I am one of the lucky ones, he will spend the ten day wait with me at the Vlad Inn. Of course when we picked him up from the orphanage they did not send his meds with us so the first few days were rough until they gave me meds here in Vlad. And they refused to tell me his schedule or foods that he eats but he and I are working it all out.
Just now, he opened the frig and then ran over and hugged me. He can eat anything he wants out of it and is seriously happy. He mostly sticks to the yogurt, sweet cheese, juice and fruit but every once in awhile the ham becomes a favorite. And he loves my granola bars. Yeah!!!
As for the tight connection in Moscow, it did not happen. It took over four hours to clear passport control and it was an absolute crush. When it became clear I would not make the flight to Vlad it was impossible for me to back up and get out of the crush of people. It was a bit scary. But I got through, bought a new ticket for the east and eventually found a room for the night.
Anyway, it is all good. It is time to pick up the laundry and go to dinner. Yeah!!!!

Sarah, I am so glad that court went well and you get to spend the 10 day waiting period with your son. Doesn't that sound wonderful? Your son is so blessed to have you for his mom and now the fun begins. I am very proud of you and how you handled the Russian airport system. I couldn't have done it without Carey to help me, and still it was scary at times. Enjoy your days with your son and let us know how things are going. Love, Marilyn
Woo HOO! Congratulations on having your court go so well and having you son with you! Prayers that the next few days will be amazing and that you'll be safely home soon!
Joy!
Congratulations! You're going to make a wonderful mom to that sweet boy. Can't wait till you can post some pics. Also, feel free to share some details at time spent at the Vlad Inn. How's the food at the restaurant there? Can you walk to any restaurants? Enjoy the rest of your days in Russia with your son. Safe travels back.
