We have a court assignment!

Getting your court assignment is the next big step in the adoption process. There are 22 adoption courts in Bogota. Different courts process adoptions at a different speed, depending on the attitude of the judge about international adoptions. We got assigned Court 14. According to Helena, it's "better than average, a bit faster." We have no idea what that will mean for us, but are optimistic that things will move along promptly.

We found out our court assignment on Wednesday, but I'm not sure when it was actually assigned. The person at CRAN who can tell us was out at the end of last week, and Monday was a holiday here (Columbus Day). At this point, it just feels good to know the paperwork is in the system!
