Day 14 – Court!

It went great!  We were in a small-ish room with the judge, 2 witnesses, court reporter, social worker, orphanage lawyer, prosecuter, us and our facilitator.  The judge read most of our dossier, asked a few questions, took a 5 min recess, and proclaimed her ours!  The time was 2:53pm her time and they said “Dashlyn Belle Smith” for the first time!  After that was a flurry of activity.

We went and got train tickets for the evenings ride, went to the apt for the last time to get our luggage, exchanged a little more money so we could pay our driver and for the ride the next day from the train station to the airport, and jumped onto the train!  (Again, I did not get that Harry Potter feeling on the train – not one chocolate frog even!)  The car was a little nicer this time but you don’t get to see it because of the broken camera problem :(.  We both slept pretty good this time, and even watched a little of The Office on the DVD player before it died.  The next morning…..oh, that’s the next post!
