A Request for Help

Update on our situation....

Our agency sent in an updated home study and the US Embassy denied it.  Our appointment for with the embassy has been canceled until we get this cleared up.  So we are going for option two.

What we need is an US pediatrician (can be any pediatrician not just ours) who will send in a letter to the US Embassy and have it documented that Olivia Ann's condition is minor and correctable. 

According to what we have been told in Russia, once you have cerebral palsy diagnosis you have it for life.  But in the US you can have infant cerebral palsy and it is correctable with massage and physical therapy (our international adoption doctor at UAB indicated this as did Olivia's doctor here).  So right now she is considered special needs and we were not approved by the INS to adopt a child with special needs.


We can even do a Skype or Facetime video chat if a US pediatrician needs to review her.  We just need some help from a pediatrician as well as the Great Physician above. Since it is midnight in the US getting anything done until tonight is a challenge.

We also have an appointment with a doctor here at Noon to see if they will/can help us out.  We will let everyone know as soon as we find something out.

Please continue to pray for us.
