Another Miscommunication

We were able to talk to Sveta today and she informed us that we are starting over. Our director didn't know all the facts and I guess there was a miscommunication. We are now waiting for our new Letter of Invitation (LOI) so we can go back to see our baby. We are praying we can be back by the end of the month, so please pray hard that the LOI is signed in time. When we return in September we'll have about a 6 - 8 week trip where we will do the "bonding" period, apply to court, go to court, serve the 15-day appeal period, spend about a week gathering documents, then finally come home. There is plenty of room for delay in there, so please pray for a quick trip. We were dissapointed to hear this news, but are now happy to atleast have a direction. We'll keep you posted on the LOI.

MERCY!

ALL I can say is bolster up anew; eat the most proper nutritous foods you can get your hands on; work out -- build up your muscles; Run the race!

Boy you two have been tested! I'm thinking now is time for smooth sailing!
I'm praying for a quick LOI, and everything to fall into place for a smooth adoption of Miss Ava.
My thoughts and prayers are with you..and Ava too!

Oh goodness! Poop! Well at least things are moving. Will you get to go to the other court this time? I hope so! I love you so much! I will be praying for you. I cannot wait to come home and see my precious little niece in your arms. Love you!

Wow, it's good to have some direction now. I'm really sorry for all the difficulties you've experienced but remember, good things come to those who wait. Keep the faith!

Will Ava be moving to the new Baby House?
