BRING ALL OF THE BABIES HOME!!!

If you know Jason & I, you know I am the firecracker and he is the passive and one. Jason has turned over a new leaf! I have to say I am impressed and thrilled! The time he spent in the United States Air Force has come in quite handy! He has been able to elevate the TQ cases to get even more attention. The below email is one Jason sent an individual within the our gov. who is guiding the 40+ families as to what is acceptible to prove "the children who have lived in the orphanage their entire lives are in fact ORPHANS". I know it sounds so incredibly silly but sadly, it is true!

Melissa and Heidi, you ladies are in my thoughts and prayers and I cried for both of you last night after the email trail from the HOT HENS. Melissa and Heidi's babies are celebrating their first birthday away from their forever families in an orphanage! Melissa told us last night she sent her baby girl a birthday package! If you don't cry on that, something is wrong! Our babies need to come home! They are NOT terrorists!

Today we are sending via Fed Ex more paperwork to our attorney who is continuing to work on the cases. The US Gov. told us on Saturday (July 19th) in the RFE that we have 84 days to respond and prove Halle Grace is an orphan. They will not accept anything from the orphanage as evidence because they have said and stated in emails and on a teleconference that they do not believe anything they say...WOW! Yet, in America, COLD blooded criminals caught in the act (i.e. the man who shot and killed Trooper Shawn Blanton) are granted the right to a fair trial, an attorney and during the mean time Shawn's killer gets a cell with air conditioning, HBO and hot meals. God Bless Michaela and Tye! The man who killed Shawn doesn't deserve anything in my opinion except JUSTICE!

Halle Grace and the other children in her orphanage DO NOT have air conditioning and it is extremely HOT and HUMID. The mosquitos are horrible as well and they all sleep together so you know they are hot! However, I know they are happy and God is watching over them all. He tells us in His word and mentions specifically how HE cares for orphans! Our children get as much love and care as the nannies can possibly provide and they love the children! I know she is loved and taken care of but she is still institutionalized! For every day a baby is institutionalized...developmental delays become an issue. We will deal with anything, we just want her home and in our arms! I could go on for days!

I think it is obvious you and I don't see eye to eye on this matter. If we were in a simple debate I would say, "lets agree to disagree." However, a simple debate, this is not, and unfortunately, you are in a position that allows you to have the authority to make a decision that will affect the rest of my life. For that reason I cannot simply sit back and passively agree to this approach.

What I have yet to understand and/or have satisfactorily explained to me is the seemingly arbitrary break from protocol in these matters. As you have said below my file "still contains some indications that the child qualifies," and that historically in cases such as these, one has to show "the child is more likely than not an orphan." The fact that this case simply happens to be at an orphanage you have suspected in the past does not qualify my child's case as inappropriate or shady. "Guilty by association" simply is not an appropriate response. To me, it seems the decisions to issue mass RFEs without adherence or consideration to established protocol is subjective in nature and outside the scope of operating instructions.

I am also very concerned about your response to my question of 'who will be reviewing these RFE rebuttals and making a decision thereupon?'. "As for who will review, the normal path of a case, should an rfe be issued is that the review will happen in Ho Chi Minh City and in our Bangkok office. Since there has been nothing normal about these cases, I cannot say with 100% certainty that this will be how your cases is reviewed, but again, this is the normal case."
Are these cases being elevated to a higher office for review? Could you please be specific as to who the "usual reviewing office" is and, if not the usual office, who these cases will be elevated to? Again, sorry to be so particular but this is my daughter we are talking about and I am leaving nothing to chance.

Once again, thank you for your response.
