Its been a rough Tuesday morning. Have spent hours crying.
Liana and Tanya have been so upset too and Kleenex has been of good use to all of us today. The ministries seem to have archaic systems, cannot just change the mistakes on their system, at the Ministry of Education, apparently. And have to redo it again. Everyone is trying to get this fixed, but we are not very hopeful of a quick resolution. Our reps there are being sent from pillar to post in the interim by the ministries. It seems that the Ministry of External Affairs has promised to do what they can, but since the mistake was done at the Ministry of Education, the asst director and director there need to fix it, sign and send the documents to the MEA again.
Going by their efficiency and how slowly they do things-and now even when they do it, they dont do it correctly, our hopes for seeing our son next week have been dashed.
Aeroplan has been nice and will let us change our tickets-put them on hold without us losing all those points, I was in tears when I spoke to them on the phone today, and they were so kind and helpful.
In all this, we are very glad to have Liana on our side because we know she is going to fight tooth and nail to get things done and contact whoever she can to get them to help fix this mess. I know she is super stressed and upset for us too. We all are, on the same team. Except for who should be with us-the Ministries there. If they really had the best interest of the children at heart, they would do everything in their power to fix things asap and make sure they were with their parents as soon as they could be so that they were part of a family and got the love, care and affection that they so deserve. Help us God, pls.
It is of immense help to me that my new friends made along this adoption journey, other moms who went through all of this awful stuff and more and very supportive and keep writing to me encouraging us to hold on and hang in there.
It's frustrating, infuriating and soooo unfair.... but there's and end, don't let this to make you lose your way. There, in Kazakhstan is your "polar star", just keep your eyes, soul and heart on it....
