Moscow - Trip 2 - Day 13
Thursday, January 31, 2008
Today we went back to the Moscow Regional Court to finish up some final paperwork in preparation for picking Liam up in the morning. After that we went to the supermarket to buy a cake for the baby home. We’re told that it is traditional to give some sort of sweets when you take your child out of the baby home. The staff there eats the treats and offers toasts to the child’s "sweet" new life. We were hoping that we would be a part of this party but apparently it takes place after we leave.
After we were dropped off at our apartment, Tanya came up to help us fill out some of the forms for the Visa and Immigration applications that will soon be needed.
We met up with Mark & Sinziana at T.G.I. Friday’s tonight for dinner. We got to hear all about their new little one Diego that is from the same baby home as Liam. It is so much fun to visit with the other families and hear about their referrals.
That’s about it for the day. Right now, we are packing up some last minute items for our big day tomorrow. We’ll be picked up early in the morning and, depending on how well Liam does in the car, it’ll most likely be a long day of getting some more of the paperwork out of the way. I can’t wait for our little guy to be with us forever!
