The people that got us through

First I want to say that I am shocked and amazed at the shear number of comments on the last post. We had 10 in less than 24 hours. Apparently I struck a cord. I do want to go on record to say that the post was in no way intended to frighten people away from Russian adoption. The process is not without it's flaws. If someone asked me if I would do it again I am not sure how I would answer that question. Ask me again when it is all said and done and I have my son in my arms.

So the update on our process... Well... it looks like our paperwork won't be filed to court until the last week in June. Kathou and Paypay will likely be Monday so we will be about 2 weeks behind them. With any luck our travels will overlap.

In other news; D made the trek to the Secretary of State's office for the apostille on the 171-H letter and promptly dropped it in a DHL box with a guaranteed arrival in Anchorage by noon tomorrow. If it doesn't arrive I think D will get a beating with an under used hockey stick. Of course it won't be his fault, but it will at least make me feel better. You see Olga is sending a package to Khabarovsk tomorrow and she wants that letter in the package. So do I.

So to celebrate I am going to give you guys a movie preview. I thought you all needed a laugh and I also thought watching Mary-Mia trying to recreate a diet coke and mentos experiment was not nearly enough. Sure, you wanted some more photos of Pickle's stuff, but I don't really have any. So you will have to settle for this (caution it does have a bad word in it):



This was so stinkin cleaver I wish I could take credit for it, but alas no.
