8/18 - Our Documents Are In Latvia!

We confirmed that our attorney, Agnese, received our dossier paperwork this week. Today she emailed us to say she gave it all to the translation company to have it translated into Latvian for the court. Once it’s translated, she’ll submit it to the orphan court. After that, they’ll assign us a court date and then we’ll book our first flight. YIKES!! We feel like we’ll probably be traveling on our first trip to Latvia sometime in October but for all we know it could be earlier. Not much we can do but wait right now.

The kids are expected back at the children’s home this weekend so we’re hoping to talk to them soon. We also heard that the children’s home director and possibly Helen and Ilga (the chaperones who accompanied the children to the US) will be interviewing the children (or at least Kristine) about their wishes concerning adoption. Since our kids are older, their wishes are taken into consideration by the court. Of course, we expect them both to say “yes.”
