We made it to the beautiful land of Armenia. We arrived in Yerevan this morning at 4:38am their time. Apparently us and half of Europe thought that 4:30 in the morning was a good time to come to Armenia because the line for Visa applications was crazy :), but we made it through without any problems and our attorney Ed was waiting on us in the arrival area. We were able to get an update on our itinerary for this upcoming week. Of course this could change, but here is the plan for now:
Sunday (today): Travel to Gymuri and get checked into our hotel
Monday: Visit Payson at the orphanage (our court hearing was changed again due to an Armenian holiday
Tuesday: Court hearing in the afternoon
Friday: The judge will hopefully issue his positive court decree and Payson will be legally ours and we can get her out of the orphanage forever this day! Our attorney feels like we should get this court decree by Friday at the latest. Once we have the court decree, we will leave Gymuri and go to Yerevan for the next two weeks for the US Embassy process.
When we arrived in Gymuri today, we were surprised with a hotel that opened a few months ago. A modern hotel that is very nice and has comfortable beds!!! It is also located next to our favorite pizza place in Gymuri. God is watching out for us so that we can be rested during this process. We took a very long nap from about 10am-5pm Armenian time before grabbing dinner. We cannot see Payson today because the orphanage is not open to visitors on Sundays. We were able to spend the evening unpacking and chilling out. We will have pictures of Payson to post tomorrow after we get to spend the day with her! Good night from Armenia!
Much Love, Jenn
