Today I finally got a call from Barbara. She explained that 3 weeks ago she got an email from Estonia saying that our documents were done and on their way to the US. They still had not arrived on Monday, so Diana called Estonia. It seems that the documents were not ALL completed or not filled out correctly. The problem was fixed. Diana was told that the documents were already in the hands of FedEx. So, they really are coming!! Barbara promised me that she will copy and send them AS SOON AS they arrive, and after she has called to let me know, of course.:)
It seems that a judge in Estonia has already reviewed our petition and has recommended us as adoptive parents. This is why we had to wait for the judge to return from summer break. Now, we will get our official referral and file our I-800. When the approval makes its way to Patrick at the US Embassy in Estonia, we can expect a 2 month wait for a court date.
I’m not sure if I like having tentative dates or not. In one way it is nice, but I know I can’t really count on it. Finally, the end is in sight!
I’ll get some pictures posted soon.
