Speechless

We were denied our 3rd appointment. I do not have the stength to write the details tonight but wanted to communicate this info to all of you who are following our journey. Is this really happening? How could it be so? Our next step is to go to the Director of the SDA on Thursday. More later.

My Dear Friends,
I just can't believe what I'm hearing and how you continue to share the information with such poise and grace. I'm heartbroken and enraged. Just don't lose the faith... It just has to work out.

Much love,
e.

If anyone can make the Director see the light, it's the two of you together hand-in-hand! You are a force to be reckoned with!! You can move mountains!!! Never forget and please don't give up!!!

Much love to all,
Olga

Look,

Its bs stonewalling. Its hard for you to be able to do much except be patient or use locals to help move forward. I often had situations where someone, somewhere was ticked off cuz they weren't being paid off enough (usually that was the case) and I had to have a local step in to diffuse and move forward. You might need someone more adept at dealing with the bs than who you have now. Sorry to be blunt, and I could be wrong...Let me know if you want me to see if my friends can help you out. Email me at adrians@ymail.com. I can also call my brother--who might still have good gov't connections, he is in Lithuania right now flying off to London on the 11th. You would need to let me know specifically who you are dealing with, the name of the dept., the directors'name etc... Also, your contact points, inc. phone and the Ukrainian facilitator's #. I cannot guarantee anything, but I will try. Also, give me an email address so we dont communicate on the blog.

Regards,
Adrian

Nicole,

I just rethought my post-and I realize it might have come off as if I was advising you to bribe someone. This is not the case. I used to have good connections in the Parliament. But it has been a while and I was thinking of either getting Yurko to support your efforts thru dialogue, or see if people we knew are still there (o.k. chance) and ask them to help out. In any case, God Bless you guys.

Nicole & Jesse,

I am so sorry!! I cannot even imagine how you feel. I am so heartbroken. I wish I had the strength you both have. I know you will get through to this director once he sees and hears the love and determination you both have.

Hang in there please!!

LOVE YOU GUYS,
Kimberly & Family

Dearest Nicole & Jess,

I received this email today and I know it was meant for you.

'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' Concentrate on this sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.'

Prayer is a powerful gift. Please, next time you blog, give us all a specific time and specific words so we can harmoniously send up your message in prayer. The message and the vibe will be overwhelming to the universe.

You are truly loved,

V&T

Dear Nik and Jess,

When I was in my darkest hours, a little person took me by the hand and told me, "Don't give up before the miracle." I believed her and my prayers were answered. Yours will be too. All my love to you both!

Love, Laurie

Ronn called me this morning to read me that latest in your blog. My heart sank, I felt tight in my chest, and tears came. I can only imagine what you must be feeling. Hours have passed now, and I'm still stunned. Why? One hundred times, why?? I cussed and was angry, sad, bewildered. What is wrong with the SDA?!!?! I feel so sad inside for that baby or child that has been waiting for you! I'm feeling for you...I'm so sorry it's not been an easy road.
I have a few ideas, maybe you've had the same ideas too already. I don't even know if you want any advice or thoughts from others. If you do, I want to talk privately. email me blueyedi6@yahoo.com

My thoughts are with you daily, wish I could help more. Wish I had a wonderful joke, if just to laugh for a minute, maybe later.
A giant hug to you both,
Dianne

Les said...

I wonder if you are being shown the tough cases before being introduced to your prize. It seems that they definitely know how to pull your strings. Your entire support team is with you all the way. You told me that you knew you would be there for three weeks. You're being tested - and I feel for you. My best thoughts are being sent your way.

Wow....so much to take. It's not fair. It stinks. I hope you are fighting mad. This situation is not right, but it will be right someday (and that day is likely just around the bend). Persevere and know that your family will be complete. Here's my lame pun for the night... You kraine do it! Get it? As in Ukraine? As in You can do it! No more blogging for me. xoxo Kimmie

Nicole & Jess,

I am too lost for words, at frist I was angry. However after reading everyone else's messages I am reminded to stop and keep the faith, stay afloat and things will work out.

XXOO,

Hi
Geez...Well go get em...I am hopeful that once you go speak with them and state your case - they will reconsider and allow you the next chance. I am sorry this has been so hard on the two of you. Keep strong and know that you have each other and all the friends and family that are supporting you!
We all love you!!
Haley

"Everything will always work out the way it's suppose to." You will find a way. Childbirth is never easy...just PUSH!
Lots of love,
You're in my thoughts and prayers,
Wendy

Auntie M said...

There is a message here somewhere.
Apparently they want you to choose the child that THEY want you to have.
Keep focused.....Yea, easy for me to say. You will know your child when he/she shows up.....
Hurry up, Kishka......We're all waiting to meet you.
All our love,
Auntie M

You've got a huge network of family, friends and even total strangers that are supporting you and following your story. Some have responded to you here, some through other means but EVERYONE is touched and moved by this journey. We are laughing and crying right along with you, every step of the way. We all know you would be awesome parents and we all know how devastating this nightmare has been! Don't let the disappointments and the reasons behind those disappointments cloud your purpose. Stay focused in what you want...it just may be coming from someplace else! If Kiska-o isn't in the Ukraine, maybe someone out there can help find him/her someplace else! (Italy would be my pick, of course!)

Stay strong.

Love, J
