As of April 12, 2010 here is what we heard fro our agency:
"In light of this most recent incident involving the returning of a Russian child adopted by an American family; I have spoken with the President of our organization, Nina Kostina, and she has confirmed with me today that the Ministry of Education and Science in Moscow WILL NOT be issuing a Moratorium on American adoptions. What has happened with this young boy is awful and we know from past experiences that the Russian government will use this latest incident to reassess their international adoption process for foreign families. Please be encouraged with the news that American adoptions of Russian children are moving forward and we will continue to serve both you and the children we place in the best possible way. "
So this brings us a little relief, but we still walk on egg shells thinking at any moment this rug could be snatched from under our feet. The agencies, advocacy groups and parents are out there forming troops to stop this from happening. I can honestly say that I have never met a more supportive or helpful group of individuals like adoptive parents. It is a world and a group all its own that shares the ups and downs and the joys and sorrows.
Now don't get me wrong about what I posted earlier--this mom in TN needs to be prosecuted. Without a doubt, there are things that are not adding up. She lives on a gated compound, kids didn't go to school, and 6 months.....? Everyone knows the first 6 months are the hardest. Did she bother to read a book or aa blog even?! To not seek out help from anyone is appalling and it also seems the grandmother may have been a controlling factor in this stupid decision.
Anyway, they say this might make the wait linger and the paperwork harder.........really !! Those people haven't been to Ekaterinburg yet ! So Joe and I keep our faith, stress quietly, sleep a little longer, and continue as if nothing happened. We want our boys, we are waiting to give them the life they deserve.
God Bless everyone who has offered prayers...let's keep them coming ! Thank you !
