So.A few weeks ago, we asked Oleysia if she would like to be adopted. Her answer was. "No, she would like to be hosted next summer but not adopted." I don't think she fully understood that it cost money to host. I don't think she understood that if she said no, that was it. Well, it is. Unless we somehow cross paths in the future, I am never seeing her again. When she said no, I felt angry, hurt and used. I felt like she used me and my family for a good time in the summer. I now understand a little more why she said no. She loves her country and her sisters. I can understand that. I also think deep down inside she thought that we'd move to Latvia. At least, I know that's what she wants. She loves us, but she loves her sisters, who's she's known her whole life. I mean, what would you do if someone asked you to leave your country, your friends, and your little family? Even though you'd have a family, it'd be hard.
I'm still a little unsure what to do. Should I interact with her on Facebook, or just drop our relationship? I sent her a message on Facebook when she first said no, saying I loved her and missed her and filled her in on everyday life here. Maybe I'll see her in the future. Maybe not. but she's still my sister even if she's not here.
