Currently we are gathering our paper work for our court appearance. We recently found out that we will be needing a Certified ASL interpreter for the court date(one day in length). Not likely going to find any in Russia. If you have anyone in mind feel free to e-mail us. We need to inform the court who we will be using by the beginning of September. This person will of course be reimbursed for all of there expenses and time beforehand. They will also need a valid passport that will not expire within 6-months of travel, and able to obtain a Russian visa. The interpreter is also required to be someone that wont be a conflict of interest. We currently expect this court date to likely be in November. Advance notice of this court date will probably be 3-weeks(guessing). I promise to do my best to get pictures of atleast the area and places we visit as soon as I can. Things may be a little delayed while visiting the kids in the north. From the sounds of it e-mail is still being delivered by horse drawn carriages in that area.
