Court was successful, and our family has gone up by +2. We are very happy. Matthias did not want to attend, so it was Zach, Nellie, myself, with Victor (our attorney), Natasha from COCH, the Juvenile Services rep, the Judge and her two assistants. Samuel did not attend. He is too young to understand the process, so the judge makes the call, with all the info and recommendations from the Ukrainian organizations. The judge was especiallly sweet to Anya, smiling at her and being very kind through all of her questions. The judge took no time to deliberate, and awarded our petition. There is now a 10 days mandatory waiting period to allow for someone to appeal the adoption. Anya is now officially our daughter, named Anya Lucille Moore. Samuel is officially our son, Samuel Artium Moore. Thanks for your many prayers, and please, share our joy!!! Matthias spent the day with the Ritzmans, Jason and Jeanne. Thanks Jean...
PTL!!! Congratulations Moores! We're excited for you all!
