Nothing real yet

Our court petition made it to Liina on Friday, who sent it to Kersti along with all of the translated documents from the week before. Translations of our dossier were a lot quicker with a lawyer overseeing it! :)

Everything is in Kersti's hands as of this morning. She said she would prepare everything for court very quickly, but she couldn't give the lawyers any new indication of when court might be. So I asked Liina some follow up questions (she'll call me later today to answer) about how things work with getting a court date so hopefully we can at least get a little bit of a hint as to when it will probably be. But in comparison with when we got Anna - we formally accepted her referral mid October when she was officially available, got her court petition 10/31 (and it was sent through Diana to Igor to Kersti, so would have taken longer to get back to Kersti than K&R's court petition did), our court docs were submitted to court for her sometime after Kersti received back the court petition, and we had court on 1/22. Which means that we found out our court date for her less than 2 months after our documents were submitted to court.

From now we have 5 weeks till courts close. So that should mean that with a even a little extra effort there shouldn't be a reason not to get court before the closing. But we'll see.

It's tough waiting every day knowing you can hear something any time or you could hear nothing for weeks. But that is kind of what we've been doing for the last 9 months. At least Liina & Rutt will be staying on top of Kersti until it's done!

I'll keep you all posted!

Love,
Molly
