Dang it!

Maybe I should change my name to Dale or something.

Then Chip and I can go on tour...

Dear Ruby,

Thank you for the offer. Presently, my head is spinning, though I am sure you are wonderful. My good friend Mark, however, is available, and I'd like you to meet him.

Hey... I'm hoping you DID at least write her. You never know!

Mark,

Forty one is perfect. I'll see to it that you will be rewarded with forty one virgins.

Yikes!

I don't think I can handle that many.

You don't mean all at once, do you???

Chipster,
Ease back a bit, your head is going to explode.  LOL.  You have found the rare Russian Father that gives a sh!t about his kid.  I know in some ways that can lead to some heartbreak on their part, but you are a long ways from that point now.  Not to make you feel worse, but know you are taking "S" away from her parents too.  And her Babushka, and her cousins and her friends and everyone that she EVER knew-----(I am sure you get the point)  

Taking the child away from her Father is just one of MANY things that need to be discussed thouroughly between you and "S".  Go to meet her.  See what happens.  Talk about the child and how "S" feels about things.  This is an important one that does need to be discussed.  You are asking and answering yourself at this point and you need to get 3 other people's input ("S", the Father and the child)  Being a Father myself, I would have to consider the fact that my child would have a much better future life in the distant country before I began to kick too much about losing the contact with my child.  You also have to take into consideration that "S" and child will be making trips back to Russia for visits.  Depending upon the childs age, summer vacations could also be arrainged for time with the Father.

Here is some information for you. 6 years ago when I was leaving Belarus I had to ask father of my child(my ex) special permission saying that he allows child to leave for permanent residency in USA and has no problem with it. I have to say that my ex-husband was "give-no-crap-about-kid" father and visited daughter only once in 5 years.Still when he found out that there is possibility he will never see his child again (though he didn't care for his child at all) he refused to give this permission. I had to blackmail him in order to get his permission and thank goodness it worked. I'm not sure what kind of laws in Russia right now but you definately have to find out. Because if this law still in effect I can't see how you can get this permission from father of child.I don't think your RW will be willing to leave country without her child.Good luck

Privet Natalya, and thanks for your post. I have heard contradictory statements from reliable sources on this subject. Both sources were lawyers. I don't think the law is set on this subject in Russia, and like many Russian laws, they are amenable to different interpretation and application.

I have heard of a number of K-1 women who did not emigrate, because the father intervened, and fiance in America wouldn't pay a big bribe. In my case, father seems to truly love the child, so that is my real concern. If my lady simply told him she was leaving, with the child, he might hire attorney in the city, and there would be such roadblocks that I don't think I'd be willing to fight the fight. Father could still find his way to US, and make trouble, too. Better that my lady has a no show former husband, I think, but Steve is right to say I need more information before making an impulsive judgment on this. As Mark said, would you travel 7000 miles for this lady? Yes, but not if there will be big legal issues...

Natalya,
I think that the law has been changed so that permission is not necessary now.

As I know, nothing is changed so far... Do not hope for miracles in Russia... As Russian, I can tell you that there will be only more and more obtacles to go out of Russia in future...
