Russ here...
We had a two hour meeting this afternoon with our interpreter to prepare for court tomorrow. It will be challenging. She stepped us through a series of questions and gave us advice for what to say and what not to say. The judge is notoriously tough and she said if you get a smile you'll be lucky. The hearing will 90 minutes to two hours in length and she told us to "hope for the best and prepare for the worst." Fairly nerve-wracking for me especially since she informed me that the husband is expected to answer three fourths of the questions. She expected my part to last an hour or more and then Jenny will have an opportunity to speak and they may ask her some questions. I'd just as soon it be the other way around! I'm prepping for it like a Sunday morning sermon. Will have to be on my toes and able to think on my feet because there are no guarantees as to what she'll what to discuss.
We also had a visit with Roman today and it went very well. Finally got him to smile and play a little bit. In the previous visits, he's been so clingy that he wouldn't let us put him on the ground by himself. Today he was in a much better mood and we got a little better insight into his personality. Pics coming!!
Court is at 11:00 AM Tuesday which is 9:00 PM Monday (our time). Would appreciate a prayer at that time.

We will pray tonight that your court interview is a piece of cake!
