I MISS OUR LITTLE MAN

I have not been allowed to see our precious angel for eleven days now and it feels like eleven years. I miss him so, so much. All I can do is look throuhg the pictures and smell his blanket, but it is like torture to do so. I just want my baby. He must be wondering where the heck I went! I envy Inna - she can go and see him anytime she wants...and yet she doesn't. She still has not gone to see him. I am glad she hasn't, but I want to go see him so bad it hurts.

I am praying like crazy. I have begged God ~ I would give anything so we can have our son.

We all are begging the Lord on your behalf to put that little man safely into your arms and family forever. I cannot imagine the deep pain and hurt you feel....but praying Inna's lack of visiting him will show she does not really care about him to the judges and they rule immediately in your favor.

You are being prayed for (begged for) in mass!

I don't get it??? She wants this baby and has not gone to visit him? Poor little guy-I'm sure he misses you. Do the courts know that she has not been to see him? I would think that is all they need to know! This is so crazy.

He's so precious. God is hearing all of our prayers. Surely the fact that she hasn't even gone to see him would convince any judge! I'm sorry you are going through this. My prayers will continue!

We (and our friends) hoping an praying that it continues in your favor, and that you will be on a plane soon with your little man in your arms. Know there are tons of people you don't know who are thinking of you, Joe and Stephen. As gigi says, this is crazy.

Inna wants this baby yet she doesn't visit him? What on earth is that about????? That's appauling!

Lynda said...

Dawn,
We are all praying for you too! It just breaks my heart to read your posts because it is so obvious that you love Stephen so much. Hurry up Tuesday!

I am so glad she's not visiting. I hope it speaks the volumes to the court that it speaks to all of us. I am so greatful for the strength you have had to stay and fight for your son. I can't imagine the pain, but as a mother, I know I would have done the same and would do anything for my children. It's hard right now but you are being the only mother Stephan as ever known, and you are doing a great job. It is so clear to all of us where that little boy belongs and I am praying that it will made just as clear to those making the decision. Thinking of you daily.

Dawn, I cannot even begin to comprehend what you are enduring. I am praying for you so much!

Karla said...

Dear Dawn: the fact that Inna has not gone to see Stephen might work in your favor...certainly, Stephen is confused, but, as a little child, he will regain trust quickly when you are with him again. I am glad that you have the photos and blanket to comfort you...in addition to the prayers being sent up to heaven on yours and Joe's and Stephen's behalf. Thank you for sharing with us, Love, Karla (cpak)

We are praying and beseeching the Lord on your behalf and Stephen's. Great grace, favor and divine stregnth to continue on. I can't believe she hasn't even been to see him. Amazing!

Brenda said...

Dawn,
I am in shock that Inna is fighting that Stephen not be adopted, but does not make the effort to see him? It makes me feel sorry for her because she probably does not know any better. How hard it must be for you longing to hold your son. God sees your heart and is giving you strenght that can only come from Him. We continue to pray for you.

Still keeping you in my prayers.

Genevieve said...

Oh, Dawn,

my heart leapt when I read that Inna has not been to visit Stephen since contesting his adoption. She had not visited him before; she is not visiting him now; she says that she and the new baby's father will marry, and then they will be able to parent Stephen ... but who knows when that could/would happen.... I hope hope hope that the judges will rule in favor of Stephen's having safe, loving, stable parents and home RIGHT NOW!!

I cannot imagine how tired you must be. Not too much longer now. I send big hugs.

I does not seem right that she has not visited, especially if she wants him back as badly as she says. It is so hard not to question everyone's motives in this situation. But, it is great that you have such a strong support system out there - people who are doing all they can to make sure that Stephen goes home with you.

I'm thinking of you and hoping for the best. You, Joe, and Stephen all deserve it.

Joe and Dawn,
Prayers from home are stretching across the miles. I know that this will resolve itself and you will one day soon feel as if the wait was worth it. Gods time, not ours.
That is all that got us through as we waited for Robyn.
Love,Donna
