Pure exhaustion

Our situation has become very complicated. We are beyond exhausted staying up most of the night to find a way to make this happen. Networking and networking. We are overwhelmed with the responses and help from our friends and strangers alike.
A restoration of our faith in mankind. I am too tired to write much. Our plan at this point it to have a conference call with our Agency at 8am our time tomorrow morning and stratigize about our meeting with the SDA Director on Thursday. We are told this is not an easy task but nonetheless we are going for it. Hoping by tomorrow I will have my energy back and ready to write. Until tomorrow...

We are sharing in your sorrow so far the outcome hasen't been to our advantage but then maybe that's just it and there is no more our little one could be waiting somewhere else and that's why we haven't found her yet. You can only do so much and everything there is not easy to say the least. We love and miss you both hugs and hugs xxx

I am so sorry that for all the heartache that the both of you have been going through, but I can only reiterate what I have said before how important it is that the two of you stick with your game plan to finding a HEALTHY child.

I truly feel that on your next appointment there will be a child whose face will pop up that will put a smile on both of your faces. And when you meet this child your hearts will feel the instant love.

Trust in the Universe.

You guys hang in there. Take those ambien and get some sleep. I know it helps me when I need sleep. Stay focused and positive as you can be during the hard parts. I cannot imagine the depth of emotions you must be going through. It will make you two stronger no matter what happens. I will have a cocktail for each of you now.

Love you,
Jay

So proud of all your persistence, hard work and fight!! Glad you are staying focused on what you really can handle and want. Even though you might feel uncertain and upset, stay focused on finding that child of yours and bringing her home (not sure why I keep thinking little girl/s) I feel that your love is there waiting for you!! Will be thinking of you strongly on Thur. morn your time. Thursday is the 11th. If you are a numbers person, you know that 11 is the magical number. The powerful number.

According to the Adoption Act of Ukraine is entitled to three appointments and two visits, I am very sorry, usually on the first date can not be visited and is done in the last two.

Hi Jess and Nicole,

Sorry you guys have to go on this rollercoaster ride. Hopefully in the end, it will make for a great story.

Try to stay focused and look at the big picture. I know it's very emotional but you have to keep things in perspective, have a clear head (if possible) and stay strong. Don't become overwhelmed in emotions and make a lifelong bad decision.

Rely on your good judgment to get through this and hopefully you’ll be rewarded with a plain ride home for three.
