Today's the day

Today's the day Jessi and Barry leave for Russia. They fly out of CVG early this afternoon. Once arriving in Russia, they will get to visit with Sveta Monday through Thursday before the court date on Friday the 23rd. After the court date there is a 10 day waiting period. This waiting period is designed to give the biological parents the opportunity to change their minds. However, Sveta has already been turned over to the state, so it seems the waiting period is a legal formality at this point. But... we will keep praying until Sveta is safe at home with her Mama and Papa.
