After last weeks post, we are highly saddened to find that, contrary to our understanding, Verlande's mother was not present to sign papers last week. We found out today that she is "nowhere to be found". Then, that was quickly changed to "we know where she is, but she wants nothing to do with the future of Verlande". This means that she simply doesn't want to go sign papers. to our understanding, she was not taking care of Verlande before the orphanage- she was living with her father. The mom has not gone to visit Verlande since the earthquake/since she has been in the orphanage, however she also wont' allow her to leave the orphanage if she doesn't sign relinquishment. This is simply devastating to us. Devastating. This could be the end of our story if this is the truth and if this continues.
We feel devastated, of course.
We also feel a little "taken" as we were told that the mom and dad were there, and were sent pictures. The woman in the pictures was apparently not the mom, it was just another woman. We dont' know if they were trying to pass this person off as Verlande's mom. Either way, after staring at pictures for a week, we are confused and disappointed and worried. Also we are just simply saddened for Verlande. simply a sad situation.
