Maybe we can get back on track now

I just got an email back from Alex about Birth parents in court.

This is what he says.
It appears to be true - the judge did not ask the birth family members to come to the court hearing last week but she mentioned she would do it in future. I think she would do it several times to make sure consent to adoptions were real and before she starts trusting guardian committees and social workers. The previous judge did the same in the first couple of years.

It also sounds like Zoya met with Olga had an great meeting and decided to fly to Irkutsk with Olga the same day to meet Marina. Alex and Marina had a meeting with her and it sounds like it went really well. Now we have to wait until Zoya contacts Maps and hopefully this will all be done soon.
