Official Notice

Well, we finally received an "official" document from the country of Latvia. On Wednesday, Oct. 18, we received an e-mail from the Ministry of Family Affairs that we are now approved and have "rights" to adopt out of the Republic of Latvia, a girl age 7-11 years old. They are required by law not to mention a particular child's name, but they have her name and personal code (like our SS #) and we will be matched to Gertrude in the end. Basically this letter shows that our dossier was in order and it looks as though we will be suitable parents in their view. Next, they should contact us that they have a child for us, and we will accept, then the dossier will go to the Orphancourt. We expect to be assigned our court dates within a week!!
