Today was one of the greatest days of our lives. After 1 1/2 hours of court, the judge congratulated us on the addition of our son, Dmitry Shane Barney. We must wait the required 10 days before bringing him home so Teddi will return to Russia on the 18th to begin the "out-processing" paper work like getting his passport, visa, etc. She will be in the region for 1 week with him while this paperwork is being completed. We have decided that Shane will wait and come a week later and meet them in Moscow for the remainder of the paper work and trip home. This will trim the time away from the girls at home from 2 weeks to 1, not to mention reduce the time away from work.
Court went very well. The judge asked some tough questions, but she did so in the best interest of the children, which we respect.
Interesting note: Based on the orthodox calendar, today is the day that the angel came to Mary and told her that she would be a mother and bring forth a son.
