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!

Court is tomorrow

We are going to court tomorrow (Tuesday, 4/3) at 5pm. The Canadian family that is here are going before us at 2pm.
They have told us not to worry and that everything should be fine. It still makes us nervous though!
We hope to go out for a celebration drink tomorrow evening after we are done. That will be a big relief.
We will return to Almaty on Thursday, 4/5 and then fly home on Saturday 4/7.
Brogan has been doing well. We have been able to take him outside each afternoon this week and he seems to really enjoy the fresh air. Today he fell asleep in my lap outside as we sat in the shade in a gazebo on the playground.
A couple of days ago, they took us on a drive about 30-45 minutes southeast of town to a small canyon. It really made us realize how vast this country is. Not so much the canyon size, but from looking down and across the horizon it just seems to go on forever. It was a nice trip. We saw several more herds of camels and some horses along the way also. The road was very rough though!
Please say a prayer that court is quick and painless! I will post again afterwards to let everyone know how it went.
