Region Change

We found out yesterday that our paperwork has been moved from Aqtobe to the Ust-Kamenogorsk, and our agency now estimates that we will travel in June...although as everyone knows in this process, that could change to be sooner or later for any number of reasons.

While this past month or so has been tough with the process up in limbo once again, we feel good about this most recent development. So we have a renewed (if guarded) optimism this morning!

Also, our agency told us that Ust is a "good" region in terms of the speed of the process, and their tolerances on paperwork. That means that if the schedule unfolds as expected, we will likely not have to redo (once again) things like doctors' appointments, etc. So that is good news as well.

Thanks to everyone for your support, thoughts and prayers. We'll post again when we have any more news.

Hi there! I think I updated you on this, but we are headed to Ust on Friday. Feel free to follow along: www.ourkazakson.blogspot.com.

We have been so blessed to talk to families who were in Ust or are currently in Ust. We would be happy to pay that forward by providing you with any new insights that we gain while there.

Let's stay in touch.
