Just realized that I have not updated where we are as regards Izzy's adoption.  The lawyer has confirmed that Baixinho did not submit any appeal within the deadline.  So it is, indeed, looking good.  But no champagne yet.  She is seeking a document from the court which clearly states that this is over, and also confirmation that we are not on any list anywhere that might interfere with travelling in and out of Brazil.  But, let's be honest, it is looking good!
