Court Date!

We have a court date!!  Our Bulgarian team will be appearing before a judge on October 9 to finalize our adoption.  M & V will be legally our children in all ways except that they are staying with "friends" in another country.  : )  

Once they are declared ours, we should find out when we will travel.  The estimate is 4 weeks but could be sooner or later.  (I know, that doesn't clear up a whole lot.)  They need passports that reflect their new names (DeMoss, that is), and birth certificates that have their new names and our names as their parents.  When all documents are ready and the orphanage directors accept them, then we can travel so we can complete a VISA interview at the US embassy in Bulgaria, gather all documents, and bring our kiddos home.

The month of September marks 5 years since we decided to get on this ride.  I'm so glad it is coming to a close.  I can't wait to have all of my family under the same roof.

Last thing.  If you haven't voted for us yet in Show Hope's adoption awareness  promo, please do.  You can click on the link (or picture) on the side bar.  It seems you can click on our picture, and then click the heart button AND the like button.  It's kind of like two votes at once.  Please share with your friends as well.  We need 1500 votes to earn some extra adoption cash, and I don't really think we even KNOW that many people.  Voting ends Sunday, September 30.
