Dear Jaymi Viktoria,
I'm here in your country, not far from your orphanage. I'm hoping that I will be able to come and visit you this afternoon. I can't to see you and give you the biggest hug! We were not able to collect the needed document from our judge yesterday. We are running into some issues getting our paperwork to start the process of bringing you home. We have learned a few things. First, according to our court ruling, we ARE your legal guardians. The issue is with the different agencies that provide the necessary items to take you out of the country. They do not have any legal direction on how to process the cases of the families like us here, that have our official court ruling, so they are waiting on direction from the Supreme Court on how to continue.
I am here with another family who are adopting a cute little guy with Down syndrome too. It is simply amazing to have each other to draw support from during these uncertain times. His mama and I plan to stay here as long as needed in order to get our kids home. We are trying our best to stay optimistic and hopeful. We have done a few interviews with the media to help bring attention to the number of families here in the country in the same situation as us. Also to share our story of love for our children here and the value of children with special needs. We have spoken with the New York Times, Associated Press, Reuters and CNN. The reporters have been very kind and sympathetic of our situation and want to do anything they can to help us.
Love you little girl, can't wait to see you soon!
Love Mommy
