The End

Nigmat informed us that the courts are not going to deprive Inna's rights. This is the end of the road for us. I am going to leave this blog open as a sort of memorial to our sons.

WE NEED YOUR HELP:

A simple e-mail from hundreds of people to Orson would certainly get his attention. Please, would you assist by sending an e-mail to Orson stating how appalled you are by our case and that the right thing to do would be to refund our money. Of course, if Orson does not voluntarily do this we will take him to court, but we have been through enough already.

Orson's e-mail is: info@adoptaip.com and if you would kindly cc Kevin as well at kevin@adoptaip.com. Thank you so much for your help.

I wish all of you the best on your journey to your chosen children! For those of you home with your baby...thank God for your precious one each and every day and never forget the gift and true miracle you have been blessed with.

Dawn & Joe

Dawn and Joe,

My heart is broken for you both and your children. I can't for the life of me figure out how or why this would happen. I truly am so sorry to hear this terrible news. You are both in my thoughts always and I hope you can find peace, somehow, someday.

You don't know me, but I've followed your blog. I am so saddened and disgusted by what they've done to you. Those who use orphans for profit or do not look after their best interest need to be brought to justice.

My heart breaks for you, Joe and "your boys". May God give you comfort.

Thank you for sharing your story. Having been there myself, I know how raw, painful, and hard this is. Thank you for helping those families who follow after you by sharing your honest heartfelt story so that others may be warned.

You are also helping the children by speaking up and out.

I'm so sorry I can do nothing to bring home any of our children, find the answers, or extinguish the pain.

I still don't know how your agency and my agency can live with themselves and sleep at night.

I will tell you that last year when I was sitting where you are sitting today, I cried every night and every day I could not "see the forest thru the trees." Honestly, I have felt just like you about the birthdays/holidays. I could barely get thru last Christmas. My point is, I let the feelings come and just be. Those feelings dont' have to be "OK" with everyone else. It's ok to be pissed, sad, furious, confused, angered, brokenhearted, wanting to scream, and feeling like you are on the crazy rollercoaster that just doesn't seem like could happen to people. Be gentle to yourself. I was that way with myself and it really helped. This year I feel so much better. Nothing is solved, but I'm a different person in a different place now. That in and of itself helps. A year has given me perspective.

Telling myself the serenity prayer helps (even though I'm not an addict!)

I would tell myself that the sun will come up tomorrow, and it always did.

I would (and still do) tell myself that God must have some purpose and plan for all this (Jeremiah 29:11), even though I can't see it at the moment since I was in so much pain. It still hurts, but not as much.

Please please ignore stupid friends and family members who just don't get it and those who can't be supportive. I cut those strings with those folks last year and it's been so freeing. It freed up my time to hang with healthy people.

Maybe I should have sent this in an email? LOL... Thank you for keeping up with me in your emails and taking the time to do so.

Bless you. Bless your heart. You are in my thoughts and prayers every day. When you are not so exhausted and overwhelmed, feel free to email.

I'm so sorry. So sorry this has happened to you and your babies too. May God strengthen you and give you all peace and comfort. I will pray for God to comfort your broken heart. -Esther

We too have been burnt very recently by AIP.

We are wishing you well,

Dear Dawn and Joe,

I'm following your story from Spain and I cannot imagine the pain you are suffering. I have adopted a boy from Kazakhstan and I understand the deep love you feel towards each of your children... as well as the helplessness.

I know there is nothing we can do to confort you, but I want you to know that we'll keep you in our hearts and we hopy you may find the strenght to go ahead in your lives whatever decision you take.

Yours,

Anna

No words can express my sorrow for you and your husband. I love the song "Do it Anyway" by Martina McBride. Perhaps you can find some comfort by listening to this song...

You CAN spend your whole life buildin'
Something from nothin
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You CAN chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway

God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

This worlds gone crazy
And it's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all YOUR heart
For all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
love em anyway

God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
Yeah I do it anyway, YEAH, YEAH

You can pour your soul out singin'
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yeah sing it anyway, YEAH, YEAH

I sing
I dream
I love anyway, yeah.
