We have come to the conclusion that this experience is all an exercise in trust.
Trusting God, trusting others, trusting ourselves,…trust!
Sveta spent time with us today and has assured us that we are registered with the MOE and will definitely be allowed to look at referrals (aka JULIANNA) on Monday @ 9:00am. She said that the registration part is the hardest and if you recall, only Mondays and Wednesdays are visitation days at MOE. Today was not a “real” visitation day, they were making an exception for us. In light of the situation that occurred with the adopted Russian boy being sent back to Russia on a plane, the MOE was not in a position to make an exception for ANY Americans. So-
We were candid with Sveta and told her that we only had so many days left to meet Julianna and that our time was running short. We indicated that if we hadn’t met her by Friday, that we would be leaving. Sveta said that she would not encourage us to stay if this was not going to happen (sorry, Sr. Rita…I know there’s a double negative in that sentence).
We must trust Sveta who has been great to us and helpful.
We must trust that this is God’s plan for us.
We simply must trust.
