The title of this blog is "Our Adoption Journey" and now that our adoption journey has come to its final chapter it is time to move on from this blog. I am thankful for all the people I had the honor to "meet" out in bloggerland. I just want to thank each and every person who has prayed for us and for our son. Your prayers, encouragement and positive thoughts have meant a great deal to us. Most of the bloggers that walked this journey with us are now home with their children and living their new lives as a forever family. I wish you all the best and pray you will always know what a miracle you have in your little ones.

I have read your blog and prayed for you all. I am so sorry to hear that the process/journey is ending. I wish you much success in your future, wherever the road may lead you. When one door closes, another opens. Difficult to hear right now and see, but you will look back on this experience and know it happened for a reason and made you a stronger person because of it.
Your love for your three boys is admirable and amazing.
Take care of yourselves:) Megan
Dawn,
I don't know what to say. At this moment, nothing at all would be best but I want you & Joe to know that even though we don't know each other personally, I have been a silent follower of your journey. May God give you and Joe much needed strength. I promise to say a prayer for all your boys who've been left in Kaz. That God may protect them always. My heart truly aches for you and those children now. I wish there was something I could do.
God Bless,
Maria
Dawn and Joe. While I want to tell you to continue to fight the fight.........I know I have no right. You have been through so much and you must be emotionally exhausted. I like everyone else here feel for you...........any of us who have gone through international adoption know the risks and there is a chance may go horribly wrong but we all hope and pray for the best.........I am hugging my little Kaz prince tonight thanking God he is home here with us and so wishing things had gone right for you guys. I so hope for a better future for you both. Good luck in your fight again st the adoption agency....we're rooting for you and may all of your dreams become a reality one day soon.

My heart hurts so much for you and that this did not end with Stephen in your arms forever. I cannot imagine what you have been through and pray that one day the Lord will give meaning to all this and a child to your arms and home.

Hi... I've only commented once before, as I only found your blog a week or so ago... But I am so heartbroken for you. I am so, so sorry.
I agree with Beckie. My heart hurts for you.
Again I will say, your story is not finished being written.
Please stay in touch.
God is holding you in the palm of his hand. We don't know what He has in store for you, but He will carry you.
Bless your heart. Thank you for telling your story. This will help adoptive families who follow after you. Your family has ministered to others. I'm so touched and grateful for you.
Hugs, Esther
I am so very sorry, my heart hurts for you :(
Dawn,
I wish I had some magic words that would make all of the pain go away, but I don't. Please know though that you and Joe have touched so many lives with your story. You put yourself and your emotions out there in a public forum for everyone to see. That took courage and strength, of which I know you have loads of. This same strength is going to carry you right now too.
Please find a way to let us hear from you from time to time. We care.

Dawn and Joe,
My heart breaks for you. I can't begin to imagine how you must feel. I'll keep you in my prayers that you find the path you weren't meant to take from all this.

Oh Dawn, I am so sorry. My heart aches for you and all you've had to go through. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey. I will always think of you and hope that God brings you a child, in whatever way He chooses. I wish I could follow along, but I understand your need for healing in all of this. I hope you find peace in your heart and I will keep praying for you!
So Sorry to hear of this and yet part of me hope that this was a very rough and heartbreaking step in the journey to your child, just not these children.I hope in a few years that you will be looking into the eyes of your son or daughter and see that you could not imagine him/her not being i n your life. Many of us have had to make the excruciating decision to move on to another child, another region, another country or another agency and start again.Like me, I think most of us that have done that are now raising a son or daughter that we feel was the one meant for us. I grieved for the son that we eventually had to stop waiting for, but rejoice in the son that we eventually did adopt. By the grace of God, that first child was eventually adopted into a family that was meant for him.
I hope you take some time to emotionally recover and then I hope that you begin anew toward the child that is waiting and ready for you. I hope in the future I will again be following your journey to a Happily Ever after ending. Bless you and your continuing journey to parenthood.
Dawn,
My heart breaks for you and Joe. I pray that you will both take time to heal. We don't understand why things like this happen. Don't lose faith! I do believe that God has a bigger plan. Many tears and prayers for you. Brenda
Dawn,
I have tears in my eyes for you and your husband as I write this. I feel that you have the heart of a lion and you fought the good fight! You do not realize how many people you have helped with your story. It is heartbreak now, but as someone else said the end of the story has not been written. You and I don't know why God made you go through this, but
he has a plan. I will pray for you to heal your heart and ready it for the child who is out there waiting for you to be her mom.
Hugs across the net....

Dawn, I have no words apart from to say how very very very sorry I am. I will continue praying for the children and yourselves. I do hope your story has a happy ending.
Kate
I am so sorry for you and Joe. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys. I received an e-mail from the US Embassy in Kaz in regard to your Adoption Journey (remember you asked people to send e-mails on your behalf) The e-mail says that they and the Kaz Gov are working very closely with you. I hope this is true.
Dawn and Joe- I am so sorry. Although I have not commented before I read your blog while you were in country and was heartbroken and excited along with you at that time and so upset when I heard what had happened. I will pray for you and hope that someday soon another door will open and make everything clear to you. Take care. Robin
Dawn,
I have followed your story and was so hoping for a better ending. We had an unsuccessful trip to Almaty 3 years ago so have some inkling of what you are experiencing. Praying for you.
God bless and keep you,

Dawn,
I used to read your blog everyday. I just recently discovered that you re opened your blog to the public.
I was so excited to catch up on your story. I am so sad for the sad ending. Of course I had assumed you were home with your boy.
I am so sorry for your losses.
