New E-Mail

An update was waiting in my inbox yesterday ..... can't tell you how much I love to see something, anything from our agency lately. I sit there for a bit looking at it, wondering what it says and when I finally click I'm hoping that the news we're waiting for is there .... this time it wasn't but this is what they had to say:

This is from the agency in Bulgaria .....

Ollman family still haven't Court date , because very soon we complete their documents for presentation.

This is the explanation from our agency here in the states ....

(Cheryl and Jack: they have to prepare the entire presentation for the judge: bring together all of your information from your dossier and do the same from the child's side: it is then given and a court date assigned: not to worry: once it is assigned, it is swift)

So, we're getting closer ..........

We've also learned that the MOJ (Ministry of Justice) is coming to Portland on Saturday -- they are coming to see children who have been adopted. Our agency has arranged a reunion .... Jack and I contacted them immediately with our fantastic idea ....

Jack & I have been thinking .... since the MOJ is coming, could they bring Gabriela with them? Think about how wonderful it would be for the officials to witness a family being reunited with their daughter .... their daughter who could then travel to Wisconsin and live happily ever after???? An added bonus to this idea .... our whole family could be there -- Lisa, Jonathan, Amanda & Hayden and Hailee would be able to welcome Gabi.

The answer ....

Great idea: won't work. You have to complete the Embassy interview in Sofia ........

Ughhh .... why do they have to go and get all technical? (sigh)
