heartbroken, bad news

Before rolling out of bed this morning I checked my email and recieved one from Michelle Marble, we were just emailing last night about chip-ins for Bogdan and this morning it was much different....different in a terrible way.
We all know that these children are not safe or belong to a family until well, they get off the airplane in the US right? But, it just isnt supposed to happen. I am at a loss for words at the moment and need more details but here is the email from Michelle she said I could share this though. Let's get the word out and find a way to make things change.

Hi April,
I don't know how to say this...but I wanted to let you and your family know that this morning I received an email from the adoption agency that works in Bogdan's area. They said that his parents are visiting him and he is not avaliable for international adoption. :( I have emailed back and forth with the agency woman and she is sure Bogdan is the one they are talking about.


Here are some of the clipings Michelle sent that went on btw she and the lady from the agency:

Michelle,

A made a long day trip to A..... on Friday which is where the baby is residing. I recieved news from her this morning that this child's birth parents have been visiting him so unfortunately he is not avaliable for international adoption. I'm so sorry to dissapoint you.

Michelle asked what all of this means, the reply:
I believe they are now visiting him regularly but as long as he gets visits once ayear, and dont sign a relinquishment, he can't be adopted.

Michelle asked if there is a way to get info to the parents that someone would like to adopt him...
no Russia does not allow that :(

It's a complicated story about a new local regulation for kids with special needs in this area of the region. The parents have signed a irrevocable custody agreement with the state.
It is sad b/c it guarantees Bogdan's care for life while they continue to visit him. He will NEVER be avaliable for international adoption. This is regulated specific to this area. It does not apply to the whole region.

Oh how my heart breaks for so many reasons. I must go for now, had to run home for my lunch break to get this posted. I will give more information as time permits. For now pray for our lovie Bogdan (could they have the wrong child?) Especially pray for the Marble's as they decide the next step and deal with the news they will not be able to rescue B.
