Petition Granted!!!!
Yes, it is offical...Tatiana has parents. Caleb and Jared have a new sister. Kevin and I have a new daughter. Our court appointment went very well and there were no points of contention. We took the faciltators, the guardianship director and the orphanage director out to dinner after the court hearing and celebrated. Today we are feeling a huge relief and joy. We have phoned Caleb and Jared to share the good news and they both spoke to Tatiana on the phone...they are wonderful boys. I should say that I am missing them terribly...it is hard to be away. We are counting the days until we return. Kevin will be leaving Irkutsk on August 9! It is a beautiful day here in Irkutsk and we will most likely go to a cafe for cake to celebrate with the Ramseys! Again, we love reading your comments and e-mails. Thanks for sending them our way. We are thinking of all of you who have supported us on this journey and are thankful for you...we hope that you will celebrate with us today the wonderful news that Tatiana is now officially part o our family! --Melanie

We are so thrilled for all of you as you welcome another daughter into your family! And praise God that every aspect of the court hearing went well. So happy that you have celebrated - there's much to rejoice in:) (and the end of a long journey in sight). We will continue to pray for you as Kevin travels back soon, and as Tati and Melanie finish out their time there. Looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Congratulations guys! It is quite a relief that things are finally working out. Tell tatiana that I say hi, and I can't wait to meet her. Things are going well here, although I think jared needs a little more practice on his bike before he starts his daredevil career :)
