Our Kazakhstan Adoption

Hello, We are Joe and Steph - a couple with a young biological son who have made the decision to adopt a child from Kazakhstan. Joe also has a teenage daughter from a previous marriage. Rather than infertility, we are adopting "by choice". We made this decision after much thought and research. There are so many children in the world that need a loving home. We hope this blog will keep our friends/family informed of our progress along the way!

Still waiting

Well, Friday came and went and we are still here. There were computer/technical problems at the MFA in Astana and visa numbers were not transmitting to the embassy. So, we can't go until we get our visas. It has turned into a day-to-day waiting game. I hope to hear news today. We have flights on hold for this Wednesday and Thursday. If the embassy doesn't have our information today, then we know we will not be going on Wednesday as we have to get the visas via FedEx overnight.
It wasn't such a bad thing that we didn't go on Friday as expected. We got to go to Bryson's first T-ball game on Saturday and we threw together an early birthday party for him yesterday. He really had a blast with his friends.
We are packed and ready - just waiting!
I'll post again as soon as we know more!
Steph
