"HISTORY REPEATS"

June 22, 2010

Our visas expire July 5th and we’ve been shopping around for a place to renew them and it looked like we were going to Dubai until we got an e-mail from our agency in Canada stating that the Sai (Secretariat Adoption International) wants us to come back to Canada if the results of the 1st appeal was negative. They want us to come back to Canada and wait until the case goes to the Superior Court in ASTANA, the capital of Kazakhstan. Nobody understands that waiting in Canada to see Dylan again will be much harder than being here in Taraz and then again the only ones that can understand are the ones who are going through it.

We got news of the results of the 1st appeal yesterday and they were denied so history repeats again. A very reliable source told us that the adoption problem is in Taraz. Both the Municipal and Regional courts are in Taraz and they stated if the problem does not get resolved before it gets to the Regional court it will be a denial once again. But they did say “WE WILL BRING DYLAN HOME ONCE IT GETS TO THE SUPERIOR COURTS because the court is in Astana and not in Taraz. Unfortunately it does make sense, why would it get resolved in the Regional Court when both the Municipal and Regional Courts are in Taraz but we were still very hopeful that someone down the line made some serious connections and came through for us and resolved the problem. We are not 100% sure that we will also get a denial but there seems to be a pattern here in Taraz and it does not look good.

We are extremely upset at the whole situation and much more than the 1st time. So much time and energy is wasted on all this waiting and the children and the adopting parents are really suffering from all of this. We feel horrible leaving Dylan in this orphanage and we don’t know for how long or if we’ll ever see him again. He’s older and he’s much more attached to the both of us because we’ve spent 3 months with him on our 2nd trip and everyday that passes without us will take a part of him that he will never get back and he will suffer just as much as us.

They tell us that we will bring Dylan home one day but they just don’t know when but who’s to say that’s true????
This situation never happened before and look at that……. It did to us now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
