Our Letter of Invitation

has been delayed due to some mispelling by a regional Kazakh official. Hopefully, we will have more information tomorrow as to when we will have our LOI and can get our Visas and airline tickets.

Since we are getting very close to the holidays we are concerned about government offices being closed. In the region we are visiting (Taraz), we must complete a 15 day bonding period with the child(ren). After this is Guardianship Council which is a mini-court hearing and is held on Fridays. We are trying to get confirmation that there will be hearings shortly after we complete the bonding period. Randy and I must both appear at this hearing.

If things go as expected, Randy and I will spend approximately 3 to 4 weeks in KZ for the bonding period/guardianship council. Then our court date is scheduled which is approximately a month later. Randy and I plan on coming home for that month. Both of us then must go back to KZ for court which lasts a week. Randy will then return to the US. I will stay in KZ for up to 4 more weeks to complete immigration paperwork and fly myself and child(ren) home.

That's the latest news from here. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. We did.
