Today was a hard day because we talked to Kristine and she seemed so depressed. She was very quiet and when we asked her if she was okay, she just said “no” and that she was sad. Today she said she has no friends where she’s staying. We feel like she knows that other families from our hosting group are traveling to Latvia for their court dates now. She must be wondering why we haven’t come for her yet. We just have to keep telling her that we’re waiting for the Latvian government to give us permission to travel. We did our best (in our garbled Latvian) to reassure her that everything will be okay. All we can do is pray that it really will be okay.
In the meantime, we tried to call Olegs again because we heard he’d be back at the children’s home today. Lately when we call his children’s home, we’ve found ourselves playing this frustrating game with the staff there. The last couple of times we called and asked for Olegs, the person answering the phone would rattle off something in Latvian and promptly hang up on us. Of course, having no idea what they said and being the persistent person that I am, we kept calling back. It's funny at first but my blood starts to boil after having it happen over and over. LOL! After being hung up on about three times, we finally decided we’d better cool it and just try another day. We don’t want to get on the bad side of the staff, that’s for sure. It’s all these little things that compound the frustration. We just want to talk to our boy!
