What We Know-Or Don't Know...Who Knows?!?!

Why is our blog private? Well, we are in the middle of adoption confusion. I don't plan on keeping it private forever, I just want to make sure that the people I am contacting won't create issues for all of you. I don't know what is going to happen at this point, but here is what has happened the last few days or what I have found out. I am leaving the names out of this because frankly I don't want to ruin any chance we have left of bringing Yana home.

The agency partner had some issues that I won't explain, but in a nutshell, they can't help us. So that is a problem. The other issue right now is that our dossier is lost. Nobody knows where it is. It was never submitted. It was sat on for two months.

I contacted a attorney for/from Yana's country. She is working on one of my friends adoptions. She could possibly help us if our agency is not able to. This attorney is a tough one. That is a may be able to...I have no idea what her fees are. I emailed her and asked her, I haven't heard back yet.

Our agency has found someone in Yana's region that may be able to go independent for us. Not sure if they can help us or not. IF they can and IF they don't find our dossier, we have to start all over again. Did I mention she will be four in January? Did I mention that $400 travel visa expires in September? Did I mention that the person at the DOE is going on vaction the 22nd for a few weeks? Did I mention that I love her so much????

I am not sure what is happening, but I wanted to let all of you know what is going on. If our dossier is found, a wonderful Priest has agreed to keep a hold of it for us until things are straightened out.

If all of this falls through, after the grieving process of losing yet another daughter, Matthew and I will choose another child. When the region becomes less difficult, I will be first in line to get Yana. I just hope and pray that this works out and we get her home to us soon. I pray that our precious dossier is found. I pray that God hears my heart and guides us through all of this. I pray that our family will be complete with a beautiful little blue eyed angel and one day soon all of this will be behind us.
