We have our court date!

We received the call from our agency today and we will be going back to Kaz for court, August 3. This date is earlier than expected so we are very excited! This will finalize the legal proceedings and we will be Andrew’s parents. Of course there are more steps before the adoption is complete but this is a giant one.

We really miss Andrew and are looking forward to seeing him again. I will be sad if he does not recognize us when we see him again. Also I hope that he is not mad at us for leaving him. We had two hours a day together for 21 days straight and then ‘poof’ we are gone, so if he is mad we will have to gain his confidence back. I just really want him to respond positively when we see him again. To us he is already a member of the family. Not that a family is always supposed to be harmonious but for a new family it would be a nice start.

We are getting his room ready. Since it was Lainey’s old room we have to make some minor changes to the décor. The flowers on the wall are nice but not really what I picture for a boy’s room. We will be making some of those modifications this weekend and will take our time finishing. I expect that this will be somewhat therapeutic during this stage of the waiting.
