Over three years ago, international adoptions ceased in the small country of Kyrgyzstan, leaving 65 orphans stranded and 65 American families fighting to have their adoptions finalized. Altynai's Legacy Adoption Fund, in partnership with Lifesong for Orphans', mission is to provide financial assistance to those amazing families. January 2013 Update: $28,400 raised!!! Goal: $40,000

The lady returns.....
Well, after a month of waiting for the Adoption Specialist to return from her trip so that we could have court, there is NO good news to report. The last minute change this time around is that instead of proceeding with court, we now have to have a new approving signature from the Minister of Education ( MOE) in Bishkek. Now why they did not decide that 4 months ago when we left there, well, there is no compassionate explanation. As most of you know, it probably does not matter anyway because no one has made progress is Bishkek in many, many moons anyway so our letter will just join the stack with many of the other desperately waiting families. What kills us is that once again, we felt like we were within reach of having our little one home and at the last minute things came to a halt. Luckily, I was more prepared this time around and am doing my best to keep my chin up. I promised myself that I would not fall as hard as I did last time. Now, I just have to keep praying that things will start to move forward for all of us waiting.
