The News

The news is not great. We are being stonewalled and it seems the time has come for Joe and I to put this to rest and grieve all that we have lost.

Here is the news I got from Anastasiya. She talked to Oksana today and found out next:
1. They still don’t know if mother appealed or not, Anastasiya made a request to the court and results will come in a week, but most likely she didn’t;
2. Oksana told that though mother is deprived of her parental rights towards her first baby and gave up her newborn, according to the legislation of Kazakhstan in 6 months she can apply for rehabilitation of her parental rights. Oksana told that Inna doesn’t seem really care about the destiny of her children but her power of attorney for some reasons does. So there is a possibility that he will apply for mother’s rehabilitation.
3. They named the baby Andrey, like his brother
4. Oksana was shocked when Anastasiya had mentioned the picture of a newborn in the website. She said this is illegal.
5. Oksana told you can not have a picture of the baby and get any information about his health before you’re here in Kazakhstan visiting him.
6. You will have to collect all the papers again if you’re willing to come in 6 months because the papers our government has from you will expire. You also have an option to come till the end of this year to adopt another child. In this case you won’t have to update your papers except few ones.
