It is long, complicated and difficult to follow but I will summarize. When we first learned that there was an issue with the birth certificate we were told by our agency that it would be fixed in about a week, then we were told that when the in country rep attempted to execute the plan, she learned it was more complex than she believed and she learned that the law, YES LAW, required a 10 day posting for the birth father with a number of other things that needed to be done to get the posting, including locations etc. We then received an email which appeared to be going around this 10 day post. We questioned over a week ago, no answer, other questions, no answers, and then at the close of business yesterday we received a call that the 10 day posting needed to happen. From there it gets really ridiculous. Suddenly this is Peru's fault, we are a "middle of the road Peru family" other families have it much worse than us. INTERESTING statement!
So we know that we have a 10 day posting period, that is all we know.
My head and heart are not communicating at the moment. It is hard with this pattern/history of withholding information, broken promises, and other things that are concerning. It is hard not to replay all the attempts to clarify or advocate for our daughters. The HARDEST part is that our daughters are waiting for us and there is NOT.ONE.THING.I.CAN.DO for our daughters. My HOPE is not in this agency or the country of Peru, I just don't understand. We don't understand. But, my head is trying to remind my heart of TRUTH... that God loves our daughters more than we ever could.
UNCOMPREHENDABLE. I just witnessed this very truth from an incredible woman who endured 7 grueling court sessions in KZ, that included 2 trips and in the end will be 3 trips to bring home their 3 year old twins. She never stopped believing that the outcome would be glorious. Not ONCE! I want faith like that, I want to have HOPE that is so strong, that during times like these I will not be moved.
I am a work in progress.
