Hello from Volgograd
Hello everyone!
We arrived in Volgograd last night. It is 11:45am as I write this. Things are going well so far. We are off to see Maddox in a couple of hours. After that we prepare for court and then court is at 10:00am tomorrow, (Friday). I'm going to go in there an do whatever it takes to make this official!  Wish us luck! Hope everyone else is doing well and getting their calls!!!!! Take care, Nichole

Nichole,
From one "Volgograd Parent" to another, good luck with the rest of your adoption experience! Are you working with Tamara? Is Yana your interpreter? Don't worry: Court will go smoothly. Remember that the adoption is pretty well put together already by virtue of the dossier and court file. Again, best wishes! Mike
