We have run into difficulties with the adoption. The boy has two older sisters. The oldest sister has already been adopted. The younger sister is in the process of being adopted by a Ukrainian couple. This boy has a different father than his sisters, and has never met his sisters. In spite of this, we are having difficulty getting permission to separate the boy from his sisters. For the past 5 days, we have been running back and forth to Odessa to get paperwork and signatures, and there does not seem to be an end in sight. Because of this, our process is being delayed.
We have told our facilitators that we must have all of this resolved and moving forward by Friday. If not, we will return home without child. We do not have infinite time and money to spend here. In addition, the Inspector in the region is going on vacation for two weeks after Friday. If she is unable to complete the paperwork before leaving, we will be delayed further.
Our facilitator in the region has been wonderful. He is working very hard to try to resolve these issues quickly. Sometimes, it feels like he is the only person fighting to help us. If not for him we probably would have given up and returned home already.
We are very frustrated and saddened by the way this is turning out. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
