Yes we are still adopting.....

Message directly from the facilitator in Kazakhstan is we should be receiving our Letter Of Invitation mid-November and leave for first trip end of November. The reason for the later time frame is not because of problems though. The Kazakh end of this can only handle so much at a time and their schedules are full. We understand this and appreciate them for keeping details and their families first. They refuse to do more business than they can give all their attention to.
We have packed a few things and are making the arrangements for the house and care of Shawn while we are gone. One more document to notarize and appostille (CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?????) so Fed Ex bound we are today in between Fall Festivals and Birthday parties and laundry.
We are collecting photos and such from adoptive families to take to Taldy and they are starting to arrive. I can't wait to present these to the staff at the baby house. Have wrapped a few birthday gifts (sniffle, sniffle..) for Dias as he will turn 4 while we are there.
Probably no news for a few weeks but will write it when we know.
So, Yes we are still adopting. No, we haven't heard anything. But everyday brings us closer to our child.
