Home
Sorry I haven't posted since being home just trying to get use to the time change and spending time with my children. I did go back to work on Wednesday and will work until tomorrow and then we fly back on Sunday afternoon. I so dread all that travel but I can't wait to see my baby again, I am so afraid that he has forgotten us. I miss him so much I look at all the pictures we took of him and all the videos and it just makes me smile. I never imagined that he would be such a happy child filled with so much personality. I can't wait to see that little smile and hear his laughter I miss him so much.

INTRODUCING.................................
ANDREW DUNCAN FREEMAN
As of today this is officially our new son, Thank you Lord for leading us to this precious angel that you knew all along was to be our son !!!
I was so nervous today in court, not really knowing what to expect but everything went very smoothly. The Judge was very young but very professional, he asked me to stand up tell him my name, date of birth and place of birth, how much education I had and where I worked, he asked the same of my husband. He asked why we wanted to adopt and if we could afford another child. The court room was a small room not the kind of court room I am use to , there were about 8 other people in the room. The director of the orphanage seemed very happy that we were adopting Andrew she spoke in our favor. The Judge leaves the room to make a decision and then comes back and pronounces him as our son Andrew Duncan Freeman and then congratulates us, That was a great feeling....we do have to wait the 10 days so our order will not be signed until August the 3rd.. My husband and I have made the decision to go home for this wait and spend time with our children at home who we have missed something terrible, we have never been apart this long and it has been hard for all of us. So I will get to see my little man tomorrow for the last time until I return to pick him up and I can't wait !!! I am going to miss him so much and I hope he doesn't forget who we are.
Wednesday when we visited him he gave his daddy sugar for the first time it was so cute and I was lucky enough to get a picture. This is the first time he has kissed that we have seen.

Now....court on Thursday
OK now we are being told court will be Thursday at 11:30 hope this is right I am so ready to go to court! Forget being nervous at this point I am just ready to go! I am debating on asking the just to please waive the 10 day waiting period, would I be wrong? can he throw me in jail for asking? Thursday's court determines a lot of things for us if we have to wait the 10 days then I see no choice that we will have to go home and then come back. I don't want to leave my precious angel here but I really don't have much of a choice I have two at home that need me just as much. I have so many unanswered questions that need to be answered before the weekend, we are scheduled to fly out on Sunday........ so will we.... or will we not? Oh well only time will tell, I just wished they counted weekends in that ten days that would help a lot but oh well I have a lot of suggestion that would help a lot but they don't care what I think.
Today's visit was great and thank God it had cooled off, yesterday I thought I was going to melt. Of course he was so happy to see us he ran to me and I held him in my arms it felt so wonderful. Allen would hold his arms out for him to come to him and he would shake his head no, he did this several times and I loved it. I think he is going to be a mama's boy. We took the camara but it had no batteries in it so no pictures today sorry! We are going out for pizza this evening so I am going to try to get some more interesting pictures of what you may see on the streets and each day let me tell you.....you never know what you might see, at least it keeps me laughing.
Well pray court goes well and let me know your opinion should I ask the judge to waive the 10 days or not? The last thing I want to do is make him mad !

No Court Tomorrow :(
I received a call late this afternoon that our paperwork was not ready and that we would not be going to court tomorrow, you can imagine how my heart dropped. She said hopefully she will talk to the Judge tomorrow and get it set for the next day which would be Wednesday, Please Pray this happens. I guess we all go into these adoptions knowing that at anytime things get a little unpredictable.
Tomorrow is Court !!!!
Tomorrow is court, and I am so nervous I just hope I say all the right things. I want them to know how much this little boy is already loved and is already my son in my heart. I have been feeling under the weather the past three days not sure if it is the food, water or if I have caught a Ukrainian bug! LOL But I think I am on my way to recovery. This morning we went to the orphanage to see my precious angel, I guessed he missed us yesterday, I sure missed him!
I know my husband laughed and said I looked like and ape, but who cares, I was trying to catch my little monkey.
We did our same little routine except this morning he had vanilla/chocolate pudding instead of baby food and he loved it. It was so hot we were miserable especially after our hundred laps around the orphanage, he loves to walk around and visit everyone he sees.
Please pray for us as we go to court tomorrow.
Please pray for us as we go to court tomorrow.

Friday and counting down til Court !!!
I am counting down the days until court, I am so excited and nervous. Sunday is going to be hard we will not get to go to the orphanage so I know that day is just going to drag by, maybe I will clean the apartment and keep myself busy, YAYYY, can't wait for that !
Today when we got to the orphanage Duncan was inside with his groupa getting dressed, he is such a cutie he couldn't wait to get outside to get in my bag. We met a lady here that is in the Peace Corp, she is American and said she was staying here for 2 years, OH MY don't know how anyone could possibly stay here for 2 years, I couldn't. It is just not for me I love the good old USA. While this lady was talking to me Duncan was getting very impatient he wanted in my bag so he could eat, he kept looking at me and finally just sat down on the curb and looked at me like OK enough talking I am ready to eat. It was too cute.
In the morning we have to go get medicine for him at the pharmacy we were told that there was a sickness going around his groupa and they wanted to start him on medicine and maybe keep him from getting it. I did notice that his nose was running so I pray he doesn't get sick. Here a few pictures of our visit.
