Some good news....

My agency emailed me this afternoon to tell me that the birth mother interview was completed yesterday and it went well!!! Yeah!!! I am thrilled to hear this news. However, I was also saddened by some news that they shared with me. Supposedly 6 children were taken from their FM's arms and sent to orphanages. The reason is that during the questioning, the BM agreed to the offer of monthly money, housing and medical aide from the government. (Imagine sitting across from 3-5 attorneys and not fully understanding the way they were questioning you?) I am hopeful that this will all be sorted out and that the children will get to go back to their FM's and then to their forever homes.

There is also a story posted on the chat forums I monitor from the Associate Press saying that 15 adoptions have been "annulled" for now. If there really is corruption, stolen children or some other tragedy, I want it fixed. If not, there are families who have waited a LONG time to bring these kids home. The US Government is saying that they can't get involved. That's not right. They were quick to take action when GT was working on an adoption law. Where are they now???

I have written to my Congressmen and Senators and I know many of you have as well. Thank you for that. I do believe that soon, someone will have to take notice and do something. Are we not supposed to be doing what is best for the children???

I am so happy for to know that I am one step closer to my forever family. Thank you all for keeping us in your prayers. And if all goes well, I will have some new photos soon.
