Sergey

For those who were curious about Sergey's status but were too polite to ask: I don't know.

I was unable to go back for Sergey after I got back with Charlie. In addition to financial limitations, I also had the issue of having my job abolished. Even though I found another one right away, that disqualified me from starting another paperchase, because they look for stability.

Someone actually contacted me because she had been paperchasing Sergey even before I was, and had to suspend her process when she had a biological child. She was interested in resuming if I were not going to, and I gave her my blessing and the contact information of the agency rep who had his file.

But I don't know the outcome. I'm afraid to ask. Guilt? Sure. If he did not get adopted, he will age out of the orphanage by Christmas.

I can tell you I still think of him every day and pray for him always, and will always wonder what could have been.
