Court

We have a court date, ladies and gentlemen!  We will fly back mid-November, stay just for court and then fly out again.  There will be more than one of us partaking in the free beer on the transatlantic leg this time, let me tell you.  We have to repeat that 36+ hour travel that I swear we just got back from only this time we aren't staying for two weeks between flights.  We are barely staying two days.

And, no, we STILL don't get to bring Charlie home yet.  We have a 10 day wait period once we pass court and, given the inevitability of weekends and holidays, that 10 days often turns into more like 14 days.  Sometimes the 10 day wait starts the day of court; sometimes it starts the day after.  Some judges will count weekends as part of the wait; some won't.  Some courts will even completely waive the wait period; odds are (per our facilitator) ours won't.  So we will have to make this lovely journey one. more. time.  Yea...(insert sarcastic jazz hands here)...

However, once we pass court I can start posting pictures and other personal information about our beautiful boy and, let's be real, that's what y'all are all really waiting for anyway.  So I look forward to introducing him to the world soon.

Until next time...
