Great News!!

I found out today that I have been assigned to the Pavlodar region in Kazakhstan! This means that I have essentially been approved by the government to adopt a child! So now...just waiting for my LOI ( Letter of Invitation - to travel). Hopefully this will be in the summertime. Just keep waiting and praying!
Heading to Blowing Rock this weekend for Easter!

Attached is a map of Kazakhstan. Pavlodar is located in the Northeast section of the country.

Still Waiting!

Am waiting any day now for word on which region that I will be assigned. My dossier has been in Kazakhstan for 2 months now. When folks ask how things are going, I just tell them .."any day now I will hear something!" I know they could contact me and say..."be here in 5 days!"..or they may say "we have a tentative travel time for you in October!"..oh well..we wait and see!
