High Hoe, High Hoe

It's off to Kras I go! I am so excited to report that I am going to see my baby...It is a very quick trip and I stopped to wonder if it was worth the money but that only lasted about 20 seconds before I realized that I would give everything I have to bring that child home so what is another $2000 to go and see her. I am still praying that we would recieve a March court date. Our agency is no longer saying 3-4 months but rather 4 months...that would put us at the end of March. I feel right now that we will more than likely go into April and the thought of not seeing her until mid April or even May has really been bringing me down. Even if we go into April, I think it will be bearable if I get to spend some time with her between now and then. So, I will take what I can get.

So, I will get to see my Ellie on 2/20 and 2/21!!!! These are the dates I was given by our Russian facilitatator as to when the in country staff would be able to deal with getting me to and from the baby home.

My friend Debbie, who was with us on trip one is working on getting permission from her agency to visit her daughter, who is in the same baby home. This way, we will get to share some of the expenses (hotel and driver) and we will be together!

My visa application is filled out and as soon as I have my final itenerary, I will post it! And now, we are off for Chuck E. Cheese...Joy!

BTW, is anyone else having trouble with the spell check on blogger?

Yes spell check isn't working for me either, I thought is was just me...

So glad you're going to see Ellie. That would be great if Debbie could go with you. That's so soon.
