| Adam's Journey Home Continues |
| February 13th, 2005 We are exhausted. We have been busy buying stuff for the Baby Hospital (thanks again to Labware), looking for souvenirs, and preparing our speeches for court tomorrow. It will be a great valentines if the judge makes us Adam's parents, and it will be an even better day if we find a hotel other than the Soviet era one we are tentatively scheduled to move into. The day started with a morning trip to the market. Apparently 15 degrees is not cold around here because the entire city was shopping at the outdoor market with us. After this morning's experience with a 'nice' Moscow morning, I won't forget feet warmers again - my idea of a nice morning is a little different than theirs. It is late and we need sleep since we may be caring for Adam as of tomorrow - Yikes. We are going to finish packing, and practicing our speeches, and then head to bed and hope for no late night parties from our neighbors tonight. |

| February 14th, 2005 Happy Valentines Day. The day started with us once again practicing our speeches for court. We soon got all dressed up and headed off to court. We put our family's future in the hands of a beautiful Russian judge. She had the power to build our family or not, and her decision was ..... |
| We are all dressed up and ready to go. We had to walk 10 minutes in the blustery snow. By the time we got to court we were not looking so fresh. Hopefully this will not impact the judge's decision. |
