How Do You Mend A Broken Heart?

The lawyer isn't responding, so she cannot help us.

The agency partner who had not responded in months, who sat on our dossier for months, now has responded stating that our dossier has been translated. The issue is that they really can't help us for many reasons. One being because they all of a sudden are asking for documents and requirements that nobody that I trust has heard of. Plus, why didn't they ask for them months ago? They have had our paperwork forever, and in March had us fedex one piece of paper to Yana's country that cost $119 to send. No, in the grand scheme of things for Yana money doesn't matter, but when they had no intentions of us traveling, it is an issue. Like I have said to a few of my friends, I don't mind walking through evil with GOD but I don't want to walk through evil with evil. I have to come out of this safe for my children at home. I just don't trust our lives to someone I cannot trust.

There were two independent people that said they might be able to help us, but truthfully they haven't responded in days. With my experience, when they don't respond....well, it usually isn't good. We have spent months not getting responses.

My heart and soul belongs to this little girl just like my other children. Yana has helped me get through losing Carmen. Although the wounds are still there, working on bringing Yana home has helped ease the pain. I have longed to hold her in my arms and to tell her that she will never be alone. I want to read her stories before she goes to bed. I have dreamed of hearing her call me Mom. The future for my little girl is uncertain. When we lost Carmen, at least I knew that she was safe. There was never any doubt of her safety. There was never any doubt that Carmen was loved. With, Yana, I may never know. That breaks my heart. Never knowing if she is safe and protected. All I can do is pray. Pray that God surrounds her with protection. Pray that God sends her an angel to love her. I hope and pray that someday we have the opportunity to bring Yana home and her life can be part of ours, just like the beautiful Aleksa Cornish.
