Sliding into Homeplate

We are feeling like we are finally sliding into home. Our little guy should be home with us in the next few months. We had some horrendous paperwork issues since we have been home that we weren't sure we would be able to overcome, but it seems that we are on the way to solutions. Most of our documents were notarized and apostilled last Friday and sent to our coordinator on the eastcoast. She should get them today and send them on to Russia. Overnight mail takes 4-7 days to get to Russia. Once they are there, they will be translated (another 4-7 days), then presented to the judge. We are praying that when he sees them, that he likes what he sees and issues us a definitive court date. We know that it would be a miracle to get one before the end of December, so we are being hopeful for late January or early February. Then, we will be on our way to bringing Ruslan Cole Rachko home. We will be making a visit to his new school this week to speak with the principal about enrolling him, we will also be making an appointment with a local pediatrician as well. Things are rolling along. We are sliding into homeplate at last.
