Everyones questions:
1) Have you heard anything? Just the news coming out of Moscow & reporters "checking in" from around the world. Nothing from agency or State Dept.
2) How are you doing? I guess I'm growing closer to God in a very painful way! Y'all tell me how strong I am and what an amazing witness and how God is using my blog and story for His purpose. Well, I'm glad to be able to use my blog to reach people for Jesus. I just wish it wasn't because I am losing my child...my second child in as many months. It was from experience that I wrote "the blog that started it all" about my child dying being better than knowing she was half way around the world and there was nothing I could do to help her or tell her I love her or why I didn't come. And let me just clear the air and say that in no way did I wish death upon Polina. I was simply talking of the difficulty for a mom to be separated from her child.
And so there you have it. God sent His son to die on the cross for our sins, and yet He is separated from those who do not believe.
He knows how I feel. There are few people on this planet who can understand my emotions. But He can. He knows & I don't even have to tell Him. I'm so thankful for that because I really don't want to talk about it. If I talk about it, I might forget to breathe. That's how I'm doing.
Children's Rights Commissioner Pavel Astakhov looked to re-assure foreign adoptive parents saying that "all children who have received approval by the court will leave Russia for America"

So hopefully everything will be OK with you and Polina.
Hi Kendra,
ReplyDeleteI've just seen information that has a photocopy of a clarification about your case. It looks that you will be able to get your daughter and bring her home!
I'm attaching the link to the post which is in Russian but the last paragraph clearly says (it is in brackets) that if the court hearing happened before Jan 1st and it was positive even with waiting period ending after Jan 1st, you still will be able to complete the adoption process.

I hope you have someone around to translate the whole paper and I hope you either already heard from officials or should hear really soon.
I wish you and your family very best, have safe trip to Russia and bring Polina home !
Supporting you and wishing the best,
Vera Kaushanski

i love this post. I love how you mentioned knowing Christ. I pray you raise your little girl up in the Lord and that she would give her heart to Christ at the youngest age possible. God had a plan before the foundations of the earth to bring Polina home to you and your family. Even though I did not know of your story before I read you brought her home, I am so grateful for your outcome! Blessings from Wisconsin, Sheila Froehlich
