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!

Home 6 months - Brogan Joldas






I think maybe I will make this the last post to this blog. It has been 6 months now and it really seems like Brogan has been a part of our family for much longer than that. So, I think maybe this would be a good time to close out this blog. I plan to have it made into a book for us using a program I found on a website.

He is still doing well. The biting has stopped, the night terrors are better, and physically he is now in the 50-60 percentile for his age on the growth charts. I think he may still have some mild sensory issues, but it is all just slowly getting better. He is still not really talking yet, but has learned some baby signs and the EI program is probably going to go ahead and refer him to speech therapy in the next month or so. He is very determined and smart! He is also such a sweetie and it is so neat watching him blossom into an affectionate little guy!
