Pupek ... Family of FOUR!!!

Court was this morning at 9am and at 11:09am we were officially named the parents of Roman and Maxim! Court was something ... really can't describe unless you've been through the experience but the end result after 18months is that we have finally realized our dream of being parents!!! After court we had lunch with Svetlana, Helen and the social worker who went with us! On November 11th we will pick the boys up and head to Moscow for the Embassy paper work and then it's off to New York!!!

A few pictures from our preparations and then court!

Introducing.....

Maxim Vincent Pupek - 18 months old

We will post more pictures soon of the last few days but at long last here they are!!! We are so excited and can't wait for the rest of this journey as new parents!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!

Words just can't describe the excitement we feel for you. I was thinking about you last night as we were going to bed knowing that you were probably in the court room.

Good thing you had the male judge...we have friends who just adopted 2 little girls in Ekat and they spent 4 hours in the courtroom with the lady judge...YIKES!!!

You are now officially outnumbered, Christine. Isn't it wonderful??? :)

Many blessings to the Pupek FAMILY!!!
