That which we dreaded with all our heart and soul has come to pass. The US government has decided that our cases are not compliant with the laws of the US and are therefore going to be denied. Think of how that feels... I have had Matthew for over a month; I walk the halls soothing him when his scabes itch; I bathe him in green tea to calm him; I feed him and hold him; he and I play together and laugh together; I love him every bit as much as I do my three other children and they want to take him away. My heart is aching today.
There were very few reasons given over the phone. We all have meetings tomorrow with the embassy people, so maybe then it will all start to make a little more sense.
We are gearing up and preparing to fight this, but it is very scary and frightening being here alone and going through this. I can't lose this baby, he is a solid part of my heart and he is mine forever and ever... it just has to be...
Hugs... and tears... from Hanoi,
