I am Just as CONFUSED as Everyone Else

While this ruling today was NOT positive for Inna...it was neutral for us I suppose. This court basically rejected her appeal, but it is beyond their scope to sort through all of this mess - that is for family court to deal with in their eyes. It will be a big production now - all these witnesses: police, neighbors, caregivers at the orphanage, Inna's former orphanage director, etc... will have to appear in court to testify. This POA is TOTAL nut!!! Inna could not get a single fact straight today in court. She apparently lives with this POA dirty old man, but also lives with some other guy! She doesn't know who the baby's father is. The judge asked Mr. POA if he is the father and he said no, but Inna just didn't answer. Half the time she had no answer and contradicted herself! It is amazing that these low-lifes' have the right to screw a child's entire life up with NO REPERCUSSIONS!

Axana, the woman from the MOE broke down and cried after court out of sheer anger and frustration. Anyone who knows Axana will be surprised to hear that - she is the most cool, calm and collected lady you could ever meet. I broke down IN COURT as the psychologist was explaining that Stephen is delayed...he is a year old next week and can't sit up by himself! She described the condition he was in when he arrived to the orphanage and I wanted to reach over and strangle Inna!

Many have asked if it will be the same judge in the court - NO. It has to be a new judge, new prosecutor, etc... I suppose it is positive that the judge who originally ruled in our favor obviously works with whoever will get the case. I have no doubt that these judges talk and influence one another.

I can't even keep track of Inna's story myself. Maybe that is the key - have no answers to anyone's questions in life and you can just walk around clueless and not be responsible for anything. When people try to hold you accountable just give them six different answers until they give up. God only knows who she is sleeping with, who she is living with, who she is pregnant by, where she lives...it is all a big mystery. Amazing the amount of power this 19 year old GIRL can weild over so many lives.

BEWARE: Our case has made them change the rules!!! If a baby is abandoned...now the orphange must take steps to find the mother. If they can't find her they need a judge's ruling that she is "missing" in order to have all their ducks in a row if this case ever comes up again. Sadly, now that our case has opened up a pandora's box...the prosecutor is objecting other adoptions...Almagul is dealing with many appeals now!
