We have our first court date scheduled for July 28 already! That means, very optimistically, that we could be travelling in about a month and a half (if we get through court successfully and then get an embassy appt. a couple weeks later). Realistically, I don't think that is going to happen. It is very possible that our case could be delayed, and then it would need to be rescheduled. I think if that happens, another court date will probably not be until after the court shut-down, but I could be wrong.
Right now I'm trying to find the balance between "expecting" it to take longer and "hoping" it will happen as fast as possible. I want to be mentally prepared if court dates are delayed and such. But I need to use the possibility that he could be here VERY soon to get my rear in gear to get ready for Josiah! Our house is SOOO not ready for a new toddler! Right now, I just kind of feel like I'm going to be freaking out and getting NOTHING accomplished...at least for tonight :-)

Hard to know what's best-- being optimistic, realistic or pessimistic. :) We're hoping you get through court the first time!

Sounds like you've got the right mindset. I just started the book Beth recommended about adopting a toddler. It might be worth looking into while you wait.
I'm with you there. I'm doing the same thing.. trying to balance optimism with the possibility of it not working out in my time. But I do hope and pray we all make it through with one court date...
