Well we made it through the court hearing and received a favorable decision to adopt Zhengna. He is now legally our son. There is now a mandatory 10-day waiting period before we can take physical custody of him. The judge told us to come on the 9th day and we could take him then. She already has written the formal decree. One might ask us why if he is legally our child, why we have to leave him in this sad orphanage. The explanation we are given is that this waiting period is for any appeals to be made by either us or other parties interested in the child's welfare. I better not express my strong opinions at this time, or this Blog will no longer be family friendly.Zhengna, Pondering the events of the day.
We introduce the newest member the Wollschlager family, Christopher Eugen Wollschlager.

Congratulations!!! We are so happy for you!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! What a big day for you! I can't believe the court session was 1.5 hours - it must've been very hard to go through it. Now I hope you'll have the court session to adopt Artyom and V. very soon!
Theresa and Mark, this is great news! We will keep praying that everything keeps going as well as possible.Congradulations! Julie,Jerry and kids
Congratulations! Your adoption is a landmark event. This orphanage has come a long way in the past 18 months and your adoption is a huge turning point as the staff see that the kids at Torez can be adopted and find a family.

Congratulations this is wonderful news!
Can you tell me if there were children in Torez with CL/CP needs? If so I was thinking about what can be done to get them help with special cleft teams
