Apparently there was some mistake and we are not able to pick up Maksim, yet. We have to wait until Wednesday at 3:00 pm to see if we can pick him up. So we are trying not to cry too much and trying to continue to surrender control of our lives to strangers. Lena was upset, too. She tried to say she was sorry. It is not her fault. We are sorry, too.
We went to visit Maksim. He made us smile and laugh and we were very happy to see the little guy. At the end of our short visit he was quite sad. Poor baby. He was very confused because everyone had made such a fuss that he was leaving in the last few days. He didn't understand why we weren't taking him (we don't understand either, Masya!) and we couldn't explain it to him.
It sucks really bad.
*********************
We have had a while to digest the news. We even got to visit Maksim again. The caregivers were sympathetic and kind. So now we wait again. Lena told us that we might get the paper we need on Wednesday morning instead. We are not holding our breath. Cautious Optimistism. :) I wish I could draw one of Helen's funny faces here instead of this computer one. Will this one work? : P

We adopted our son in April of 2006 from Kazakhstan. This is a record of the process and life with the beautiful little monkey.

I'd be livid. I hope someone explains the "why" to you soon. So often, us waiting parents aren't given the whys and it's so frustrating. I'm saying prayers and keeping my fingers crossed that this gets ironed out for you soon.
MY BELOVEDS,
I AM CRYING WITH YOU. PLEASE!! LET ME KNOW IF I CAN DO ANYTHING.
I LOVE YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH,
MOM
The reward will be ever so sweet when finally tasted!
I can't believe it. I was so excited to wake up this morning and hear of Maksim's first day with momma and papa. This does suck big time.
Pitch a hissy fit
I'm so sorry to hear that news. It really stinks. Hoping you get that paper faster.
Ask tons of questions and be persistent. Chris and I would have been there who knows how much longer if we had not pressed for information. I'm betting someome somehwew could help you bring him home today. Soon... We are thinking about you and sending good thoughts your way...

Praying for you guys...

We anxiously visited your blog this morning to see how your first day of full custody went. We were crushed to hear of the delays. Hopefully Albina and Lena can do something for you before Wednesday--we are praying for that. Keep focusing on you both being back home in CA with your sweet Maks for the rest of your lives.

Sounds like another bump in the adoption road. You'll get through it!
funny faces...which one is appropriate for this day? >:/

But, it sounds like you both are very strong people and will get through it and before you know it will be home with your beautiful baby!. I cannot wait to read more of your story as it unfolds!
