More paperwork. Our new agency is trying to not make this cumbersome but it has to meet state regulations etc. We understand and certainly don't want any problems. So more notarized signatures, a new contract, etc. Thank heavens for our wonderful social workers husband Peter, who has been our notary. He is another angel. Some low days feeling uncertain about this all again but trying to stay focused on Dias and like our coordinator Susan says, stay strong for this child. So more treks back to Fed Ex to over night documents.
From what we hear so far, our paperwork in Kazakhstan is being pulled from the Minister of Foreign Affairs and will be processed within the next couple of weeks. Then the Kazak team makes trips back and forth between Almaty (big city) to Taldykorgan (smaller city) where Dias lives, to file papers with the court and arrange our accommodations. Within a couple of months we should be issued a LOI (letter of invitation) and travel a couple of weeks after that!
With the help of our brother-in-law Kevin and his Rotary brothers, we have secured new bills ( a huge issue in International Adoption because all money taken to Kazakhstan must be new uncirculated bills). We are getting great results from our ink cartridge recycling drive and our bank has been awesome (do you believe that? but they have) and we are hoping to finish a loan application with a wonderful organization called A Child Waits Foundation, that grants low interest loans for adoption. SO many angels! I can't wait to take Dias to each of them and say look what you have helped do!
Another new quilt waits for Dias made by his Grandma Polly. He is already so loved.
Hope to have good news soon. Thank you for your thoughts, prayers and words of encouragement.
