Consult Decision

We are at an internet cafe while Olig is picking up our paperwork from the consult meeting.

The consult said no almost as soon as we walked in the door. We were expecting to be interviewed, but they only asked one question, why we wanted to adopt.

Our translator believes they were scared to make the decision because they didn't want to get in trouble with higher authorities, even though they have the power to make the decision.

We can appeal their decision, which the consult told us to do. The consult also told us not to be disappointed, that they think the higher court will be on our side.

Olig will be making some phone calls to see if in fact the court would be in our favor and it will be worth our time to appeal their decision.

Right now our hearts our quavering, but we are yet to give up on this little boy until they make us.

That's all we know right now.
