In fewer cases still it is waived if the judge is having a good day it really is up to chance but don't hold your breath and plan accordingly financially I agree it would be better but what can you do. Think of it as bonding time, it will be roughly 10 more days you can bond with your child exclusively before you have to return to the hustle and bustle of daily life and people dropping in to see the new addition.

Are you talking about the St Petersburg region or all of Russia? Because our adoption agency is telling us that in many other regions they are waiving the 10 day waiting period.
One thing that bothers us though is that they told us that if we stay in the country for those 10 days that we would not be able to see the child. If we could it would make this a little more easy to swallow.
