The latest

And the wait goes on......................................................................... Recently, we were told that the newest requirement is that Mark I must undergo medical exams by an eight panel doctor committee before we go to our region for court. This will only cost us $750 a piece. Now, we will take our lab reports and all from our dr. here in US. This is after we had exams here that had to be notarized and apostilled. Oh, and guess what? We should not expect to hear anything until....at least May 12th due to holiday in Russia.

Mayday, until recently officially termed International Workers' Solidarity Day, is now known as Spring and Labour Day. On some years, it occurs on or close to with Russian Orthodox Easter, so some people celebrate in church while some attend customary demonstrations.
Russia celebrates Victory Day on May 9 to commemorate the millions fallen in World War II. Flowers and wreaths are laid on wartime graves on this day, and veterans come out into the streets wearing their military orders and medals. Alas, there are fewer of them with every passing year.
June 12 - Day of Russia.

Basically, not much gets done the first couple of weeks in May and I'm not sure about that June hoiday, I mean how long it is celebrated. So, back to waiting. I bought some things for Andre today. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!! Love all ya'll. Cherie

I had heard rumors about the 8 doctor exam. Hopefully, things will continue to move forward even though they are taking all these breaks! I mean the court date takes all of thirty minutes max!
