With gratitude and joy I can finally say I had a successful day in court! The little man has a new name! It is now Maxim Christopher Engeleit.
After the ten day waiting period I'll be returning to Orekhovo-Zuyevo on April 26th. to bring Max home so we can begin our new life together.
Thanks to all of you for your continued support and encouragement.

Dear Chris and little Max,
I am soooooooooo happy for you. Finally after all that you had to go through - a positive court ! Max will be a very happy boy and will have a great mom.
Just in nearly 11 days you will see him again and take him home forever. I can't wait to see pictures of him being home.
Take care,
Kathleen
I am not sure of too many people who could put up with as much as you have in the past few years and continue to fight to the end. Motherhood will be a piece of cake for you and one day, Max will realize just how special his mom is! You fought for a great thing Chrissy and I'm proud of you girl! You WILL have the best birthday and Mother's day present ever....a son! Congrats on your victory....God knows you deserve this more than anyone I know! We cannot wait to meet Max and one day, tell him what a great mom he's got!!
We are sooooooo happy for you!! Can't wait to see you - with a big smile on your face! You have held onto your dream for so long - I can't even imagine how relieved/happy/giddy/blessed you must feel. Now a most wonderful journey is about to start!
Diane and Bryan
So Happy for you Chris ... and Max :)
