Things change over here by the minute. We wish we could tell you why or how, but we do not fully understand the system here. I will say that it is political and corrupt and we seem to have been dropped into the middle of some crazy situation.
We were finally allowed to see the boy's sister. She was perfectly healthy and not sick and crazy as she was described. She is a normal active 5 year old who loves to swim and loves to act in plays. We like her a lot and plan to travel down to the region to meet with her on a regular basis to see if we can bond and if she would like to be adopted by us. She remembers her brother and asked if she could see him.
Keep good thoughts for us. We would love to come home with both children.
We know we are being supported and protected. When we have time, we will tell you about our awful experience when the car broke down in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night.

What a roller coaster ride you're on! And not in a fun way. Still, it sounds like there is a chance that things will go your way! Hang in there.
I'm am still praying the Rosary for you. Love Mom
So happy for you guys! Enjoy spending time with both kids. Sounds like a great story - maybe an idea for a short... or long movie. I'm perclipped!! xoxo
Wow, sounds like things change on a dime there. I'll keep my fingers crossed for both children! ~Deb
Oh how wonderful. I sure do hope it works out. I can't believe how you've been jerked around; but, it's a testimony to your strenth and clarity that you are holding up as you are. I'm in awe of you. Big hugs and lots of love for you, the little girl and the little boy. Keep us posted. Hugs, Sandy
Just catching up. What a series of ups and downs and bureaucratic snafus you've had to put up with! My best wishes are with you, and hoping for a good and happy outcome. Take good care.
According to what we've heard from others that have gone to Russia, Central America and elsewhere for adoption, your experience is not so unusual. Call me cynical, but I would not be surprised if you were offered an expedited completion in exchange for cash. Regardless, Teri, the kids and I are daily hungering for your latest news. As always, thoughts and prayers from our side to yours.

Kathleen -
Keep your focus on what is important to you and don't let others deter you. Don't take things at face value - continue to dig in and find out what the real situation is. These are your strengths, so leverage them. We are all keeping positive thoughts from this end.
Wow. This has turned into an adventure. I've heard similar stories from other couples but everything worked out in the end. Keep your chin up and keep plowing ahead.
Jack and I are praying for you along with First United Methodist Church of Farmington!!! I know this will have a "happily ever after" ending.
We love you and keep the faith!
