I moved into the new apartment...not far from Daniel's for those who have been here. The apartment is fine - very big. Only two problems - I no longer am able to get CNN or the music channel. To add to that we cannot seem to get my internet access to work anymore. Lucky me. Now I can't watch TV or surf the net. So I get to stare at the wall. For those who have asked...no there are no day trips - this place is a shithole - not a tourist attraction. There are no other families here - everyone went back (except me who is wondering why the heck I did this to myself).
For those who want to call it is easier for me to post the new number here than e-mail everyone: 011-7-3232-47-97-32. I am at the interenet cafe right now. I am not sure when I will post again...so talk to ya later.

I'm sorry to hear your time there away from Stephen is dull. I can't imagine staring at four walls all day long. How much longer until your home? I'm planning on one trip instead of two. Maybe I should rethink that.

Dawn,
Just keep your focus on the gift the Lord has given you and the time will pass. You have been to court and been granted the adoption, so it's just a count down until you have Stephen with you all the time and a short time until you can go home. Remember, the Lord has not given you more than you can bear.

You are doing great. Not everyone could handle the isolation, boredom and frustration as well as you are. You are doing a hard job, and you are doing it alone - for now. The work you are doing is creating a family. There is nothing more important than loving and caring for each other. The world is a different place because of you. We are with you!
Dear Dawn: I am so sorry that this is so hard for you...please know that we are praying for you and that we will rejoice with you when you are finally home w/your precious son. These trials are very, very, hard...but, they do bear a fruit of righteousness that is very hard, if not impossible, to see at the moment. May you have God's grace to endure this very difficult time...hugs and love to you and Stephen, too. Love, Karla (cpak)
Just think, in two more days when Stephen is in the apartment with you, you will wonder where all of your time has gone!! There will be no more days of boredom as you become an instant parent!! I cannot wait until you can bring him home and really begin the bonding process. Once you are with him 24/7 and he begins to trust you as his mother, you will be amazed at how your love grows for each other!! Until then- hang in there. I cannot imagine how hard it must be to be away from your husband- my husband is my strength and my best friend and I know I would be crazy without him.
Oh, I'm so sorry. I know that even our 3 weeks in Russia seemed forever on days. I can't even imagine! Just think though, every day is one step closer until you're all home together. That will be a joyous reunion. Hang in there!
Dear Dawn: I realize that it is difficult to get to the Internet Cafe, so, just want you to know that I am thinking of you and Stephen, and hoping that you are doing ok...it is a hard lesson to learn that God's Grace is really Sufficient for us each 24hr/day...Love, Karla
I'm so sorry Dawn, this really stinks! One bright spot is being able to bring Stephen back & having him entertain you. :-) It's so hard to be there for such a long time, trust me it will get better once you have Stephen with you. After I had Gunnar it was 13 days until I came home, I hope you will be able to leave soon & get home to Joe & be a family. I am praying for you, stay strong.
Hugs-
Ann
