The court rejected Inna's appeal and they are sending it back to the urban court. I can't take another minute here. I need to be home with my husband. I could be here until June while they act like the blind leading the blind! I have not a single ounce more in me to continue. Almagul has power of attorney for me and Joe and she will represent us. It isn't even about us anymore. It is all a "he said/she said" while Stephen sits and rots away in the orphanage.

I can't believe it Dawn. I was so sure you'd have your baby in your arms again today. You, Joe and baby Stephen are all in my prayers tonight.
Dawn, the rejected appeal is a good thing though, right? If it goes back to the other court, would it go to the judge who originally granted the adoption and was standing by the decision? If you leave, will you have to get another LOI? I will be in Kaz in about 10 days. I know you don't know me in person but I've followed you for a few months and I pray I can be a friend and comfort when we arrive if you can bare to stay any longer.
When I saw today's verse, "let justice flow like a river," well, I thought it would be good news. And maybe it is...but they sure do take their sweet time don't they? Vodka shots anyone? Ugh. Praying hard for you. Stephanie
Wow Dawn... I don't even know what to say but since they rejected her appeal would that not be good for you? Was it an option for them to grant Stephen to you today or could they either just accept Inna's appeal or reject it?

oh dawn - my heart is breaking for you all. you and your family are in my prayers.
Tears....I can't even imagine what you and Joe are going through right now. This is absolutely insane! I dont know about a book or movie. It sounds to me like a Soap Opera. All drawn out for dramatic effects. I am so sorry. I am here if you ever want to talk.
Dawn, I'm so sorry that the judge was not willing to make a firm decision. I'll keep praying that in the end Stephen will end up in your arms. Safe travels back to Joe. Debbie
I'm so confused. Could they not make a ruling today? What does it mean that it is going back to the other court? Is it going to the original judge? Didn't they uphold the adoption? I thought today was it. What happens now?
I'm soooooooo sorry this has happened again. It's the middle of the night and I got up just to check. I will continue my prayers for the three of you. If there is anything at all I can do, please let me know.
Dawn - I'm so sorry. I also hope that this means that it goes back to the original judge who already rulled in your favor. Safe travels if you are heading home.
Oh my goodness, I was so hoping to read good news here. It sounds like a good thing, though that they rejected Inna's appeal!
I am still in so much prayer for your family!
This is just so ridiculous. I cannot believe this. I am truly sorry that these people cannot see the truth that is so blatantly in front of their eyes regarding this woman being unfit to be called Stephen's mother. I have been up all night praying for you and am so disappointed. I cannot imagine your pain and agony.

I am in shock! I can't believe the crap they are forcing you all to suffer through... especially Stephen who is the one who is be most harmed by all of this. How can they claim to be about the best interest of the children there?!?!? That is such bull!
I don't blame you for not having anything left in you to make you stay there and suffer. I was burned out after 3 weeks. I can not imagine how drained you must be.
We will all continue to pray that everything ends as it should... and SOON.
Lots of hugs your way,

I am shocked that they just did not make a decision in your favor. It is obvious who can take care of Stephen and who can not. My heart hurts for you.
You said they are now turning down adoptions. Are they turning down all adoptions? I am traveling to Kaz in a couple weeks. Are adoptive parents being turned down in your region or all over?
I just don't understand all this. I am speechless and I can't even begin to understand the depth of how you must be feeling. I am so sorry this will go on for your but I am still hoping and praying it works out in your favor and Stephen comes home.
Oh Dawn, I am so sorry. This is insane! I can't believe that they didn't make a decision. So where do you go from here? Are you heading home until the court case is over, or are you staying it out? Poor Stephen, this is only hurting him. You'd think they'd act in the best interest of the child. If a mother abandoned her child at an orphanage and decided she didn't want to take care of him/her, you'd think then that the birth mother is not the best interest. Unbelievable.
Dawn,
This morning as I read your words, tears ran down my face. I could not believe what I was reading. I am so sorry. What can we do to help you through this?
We used an attorney in Almaty when we adopted Zhenya and our adoption was a mission impossible. Please email me @ joybird777@verizon.net if you would like his phone number. Maybe he could offer some advise. Still praying!

Dawn, my heart is hurting for you, Joe and Stephen. It's time to come home and try heal and recharge. I believe Stephen will be with you but you need to be home. I'm praying for a safe trip home.

What a nightmare. I'm so sorry this is happening to you, and especially to Stephen. He deserves parents that are going to love and cherish him. You will all be in my prayers.
OMGOSH! I am in shock! I couldnt sleep all night, I kept looking at the clock waiting to read your good news! I am SO SORRY! What is with them! I hope this gets resolved quickly with the other court. Take care of yourself when you get home, you have been under way too much stress and Im sure it is affecting you in many ways! we will continue to pray for you and Stephen!
Have a safe trip home,
Erica
