VISIT #1 BEFORE COURT
We went to visit Annabelle today and it was a great visit. She looks the same and was dressed in a cute little blue outfit with tights. We got to play with her for a while on the green sofa. After a little while, Elena asked if we could take Annabelle outside for some fresh air. We could and the workers quickly dressed her is hat and coat and sent us on our way. We could not do much but it was sure nice to be walking around rather then sitting in the hallway. It is cloudy but 60 -65 degrees.
When we went back in and they were ready to take Annabelle, we were asked if we wanted to see the play room and bedroom for Annabelle. We jumped. We got to see a nice little play area and then her bedroom. The bedroom was a small room with 16 identical cribs. Her crib is crib number 4 so we got a picture of her in it. He group size is only seven children, six boys and her. We took several minutes of video and tried to capture the whole thing. We are going again tomorrow and Sunday.
Later this evening we are meeting another couple for dinner. It is nice being able to talk with others in the same process. We think they are also adopting from Podolsk and that there son is one of the six boys with Annabelle’s group . . . we will confirm tonight.
That is it for today.

Jeff and Maria, we are sending lots of good thoughts from JJ and DC/MD. We'll especially be sending the positive vibes your way on Monday (court day). Enjoy Annabelle! and take care. JC
Jeff and Maria...I found your blog from the Dilworth's! Good Luck in court! Our son just came home 6 weeks ago - he, too is from Podolsk. I believe he was in the same groupa as your daughter Annabelle! (and the Dilworth's son)
