Thank you so much for praying. Your love & prayers have been felt!!! We were able to speak with the adoptive parent coordinator at Little Angel Adoptions tonight (Khimm) and she really helped lift the weight of stress & anxiety from our shoulders. She's adopted a son through Little Angels and as it turns out her son's birth mother was also homeless and put her in a similar position as the one we're in. She was extremely empathetic to our situation and listened to us vent our frustrations while affirming us at the same time. She agreed that we should not get too invested in Katerina before speaking with our lawyer and learning more details about her situation. However, she suggested that if we heard from Katerina again that we could pay for a hotel room for her just to ensure she's off the streets until we can work out a plan with our lawyers. Obviously we would pay a hotel and not send Katerina any money directly. Should we end of walking away from this situation down the road, any money we've invested in her thus far could be reimbursed to us. Tomorrow we will be able to get in touch with Jennifer, another coordinator at Little Angels who has all the information about Katerina & can give us more insight into her situation. She'll also be able to talk out the possibility of moving Katerina & her son to California, risks involved, etc. We're looking forward to getting some of our questions answered.
We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and prayers offered to us by YOU, our incredible friends and family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for rallying around us during this entire process, not just the last 24 hours. Some of you prayed with us this morning at church and we were brought to tears- words can't express how much it means to us!
