Today started at 8:45am. We were picked up and driven to a medical facility in northern Moscow for both of us to have a medical physical. We had to see 8 different specialists (hematologist, oncologist, dermatologist, infectionist, psychiatrist, lung specialist, neurologist, and addiction specialist) for this adoption physical. The entire screening took approx 3 hours from start to finish and we both passed with no issues.
That concluded all of the official business that needed to be done on this first trip. It has been an amazing week, jammed packed every day from start to finish.
The next step is to now fly home and wait for a court date to be set (this usually takes anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks). We have been told that we will have anywhere from 3 weeks to as little at 5 days notice for our court date. Once we receive this official date, we will both fly back to Moscow to attend court and the adoption of little baby "Alexander" will be official.
We have an early flight out in the morning and will be back home with Ashton by Saturday evening.
