I can't hardly even comment of this lastest criminal behavior by another American adoptive mother:
http://rt.com/Top_News/2010-04-08/adopted-russian-child-returns.html
And the boy is from the region where our little miss is. Its difficult for me to think beyond what this means for us and for her. As we are still waiting on our MOE release letter (yes, still waiting) our case is not even in the court system yet and I'm having serious doubts that it will ever make it to court. Again, sorry, I can't seem to get past my own worry and misery lately. Just when I think I can let myself feel a little ray of hope, something has to come along to make sure I stay guarded and pessimistic. I've tried to not post until I had a bit of goods news......that didn't work out too well.
I don't want to speculate as to want would have driven a mother to do this, but its unthinkable. There are proper, legal avenues in place that should have been taken if she wanted to disrupt her adoption.
Thank you for understanding my less than cheery attitude lately. I hope one day it can turn around.......but not today.

That story is so shocking and definitely criminal! The airline too should face penalties for allowing him to travel with no one there to meet him in Russia. I know you are stressed. Don't worry about your attitude. This journey is difficult and with news like this it is AWFUL. Keep us posted on what your agency is telling you. I hope this doesn't affect your adoption. Take care of yourself now getting good nutrition and SLEEP because this level of stress is not good for you. {{{hugs}}}
This story is so horrible. We are schedule to leave for court next weekend. All we can do is just sit tight and hope and pray that this doesn't affect any of us. At least he wasn't physically abused. That would have pushed Russia over the edge. Hang on!!!
I can't stop reading about this horrid situation, and each time I feel more and more sick. Disruption is a rough subject all around - however, what bothers me about this story isn't the disruption - it's the method and how it was handled. I don't presume to know what was going on in the home, but if disruption was the choice, there are a 100 other ways this could ended.
Vlad has been such an adoption friendly region. I hope and pray this doesn't effect other families futures.
I am feeling just like you today. I am so sad thinking how this will effect us. Just terribly sad and stressed when we have worked so hard to bring our children home.As said in another comment.. let us hang on.
We are right there with all of you. Hoping and praying for continued stability in Russia. God is in control! Let us cling to this!
I want you to know that you and your family is the first thing that popped into my mind when I read this story. I have been saying prayers all day for you and your little Miss.

I have no words...this just shocks me to the core, and, like Joy, you were the first person I thought of when I heard this.
Praying hard that this gets worked out quickly---and BIG HUGS from here!

Shelly,
When I heard this story I thought of you. This whole story is just shocking. But for every bad adoption story there are thousands that are so wonderful. I wish they could focus on that.The kids that have come out of that horrible existance in an orphanage and are now thriving with the love of a family.
I am praying for your family and your little miss.

My prayers are with you! We were in Vlad at the same time as Ms. H, and are with the same agency! I never met her . . . and now am glad! I so hope that this does not stop adoptions that are in progress not only for the PAP's but even more so for the children who are waiting for their forever families!
Shelly,
My heart is breaking for you and your family. I don't really know what to say only that we are praying and praying for you!
I just sent an email to the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Russia and contacted the Russian Embassy. I encourage you and all your readers to contact them and tell them of your disapproval of what the mother did and ask them to please not close adoption to us. Here is the information:

I was thinking about you right away. What a nightmare! Don't feel bad about thinking about yourself. It is completely normal and I would have done the same thing. It is infuriating that the bad behavior of a handfull of people can mess up the chances of those that are truly committed to the adoption.
