The search continues
We are still searching for "Pebble"...we haven't found him/her yet. Before we came over here I imagined this as worse-case scenario, but we are ok and in good spirits. We now understand that worse case scenario is actually making a decision with our heads instead of our hearts. It breaks our hearts to meet these children and not have that feeling of connection, but we are hopeful and will continue to search until we find that.
Every day is a new adventure over here; looking forward to what tomorrow brings.

We lived exactly through the same thing and had to refuse child after child. Difficult, isn't it. I wasn't prepare to turn down a child. You are right, think with your head at this point. It sounds like you're in a good place. It's a decision for a lifetime and needs to feel right for both of you. Good luck with the search - perhaps there are slightly older children available? We were given that option as well, but it wasn't possible given our approval letter. Hang in there. You're in our thoughts and prayers,

We second that motion Cortney and Dustin! Our journey a few years ago took us to two regions within our first week there, and we were so thankful that Petro was an option for us, as we met our son shortly after we arrived. You are all in our thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks and beyond!
Take care, enjoy the food and time absorbing that amazing city!

Hi, I am glad that you are enjoying Kazakhstan. I also adopted from Petropavlovsk. I'm glad that you are able to 'go with the flow', seems like you are able to think logically despite the jetlag and unfamiliar surroundings. Ask questions, explore all options, and don't rush. Sounds like you have it all under control anyway. GL.
Just wanted to tell you guys that you're not the only ones having to turn down children based on your gut. You're doing the right thing!! We had to make that same awful choice last year, but in the end came home with the girl that was meant for us. Unfortunately though, at least for me, I am haunted by the memories of the children we turned down that I don't know about their fate (the first sibling group we turned down, happily met their forever family a month later - sadly, I don't know the fate of the other 2 brothers we met....).
Keep your chins up, your faith strong and everything will work out!
Hugs and prayers going out to you both!!
Sending tons of support and prayers. Sounds like you are taking it one minute at a time -- that's all you can do. It's just the strangest process, isn't it?! We're sending our best.
