Embassy Day (we have visa!!!!)
December 13, 2007 | 3 Comments
Today was our interview at the US Embassy (Sasha and I). It was a pretty painless process. Basically they just asked me to raise my hand and swear that I am in agreement with all of the adoption documents that I have submitted (we did that yesterday). Once that’s done they gave me some information about what to expect as we enter the US together. Then they process and granted an entry visa for Sasha. Now I have to wait 2 more business days to register with the russian consulate and then we can COME HOME!!!! That puts us home on Tuesday right on schedule. However, I was reviewing our itinerary and noticed that the returning flight to Atlanta is 11 hour and 55 minutes. The flight from Atlanta to Moscow was only 10 hours and 08 minutes. Oh, well. What’s another 2 hours or so when I’ve been gone this long? I am starting to get anxious as I realize that the end is in sight. Now I just need prayers for Sasha to do well on the trip. That’s a LONG time for him to have to sit.

Congrats, Randy (and family). Enjoyed the updates. Be interested to hear more about the English lessons – bet he picks up “candy” and “toys” faster than “check out that new multi-core processor with CPU-local Level 1 cache!”
Hang in there,

I miss you so much!! ( Daddy and Sasha )
Congratulations! I’m sure it’s been a tough journey but I’m betting the feelings of “how worth it all was” are starting to set in by now. I’m happy for you and your family and especially for the very special little boy who now has a great family.
God bless,
Scott
