Anniversary of our Court Date

Today marks a year since we entered the courthouse in Kaluga to appear before the Judge in regard to our petition to adopt Evan. Our court hearing was at 2pm. We were able to spend a couple of hours with Evan the day before court and that morning. It was nerve wracking to appear before the Judge. It seems like such a blur now and I can’t even remember all the questions she asked. I do remember that Kevin had to answer most of the questions and when it was my turn, I got tongue tied. Right after court, we had to head directly back to Moscow. It would be 10 days before the court decree was final and he was officially ours. It was so difficult to leave him behind after our petition for adoption had been granted.
