What a whirl wind week! We were able to get all needed documents processed, notarized and apostilled in record time. Go Olga, Go Olga......Our agency is the hands down, darn best little agency in the world!
This time last year we were just starting our journey to adopt a little boy we felt led to. 8 months later we thought a part of our world had died.
Thanks to Susan Cotten and the best darn agency in the world, we were given another chance. So here we are 12 months from our original start date about to leave for Kazakhstan. To present to court our desire to be granted the privilege to adopt a Kazakh citizen. To change his name and and his culture. It is a strange combination of sadness and loss mixed with hope and joy.
I told someone today I felt like Santa. I am bringing a lot of love and good wishes to Taldy via parents and friends. We are delivering presents, photos, a yearbook to an exchange student, gifts for our friends and donations for the baby house. We have shopping requests from several people and I have photos of caregivers to be identified so families can have names for their children's life books.
We have high hopes to obtain more info for two families hoping to pick back up on adopting children they loved and then lost before adoptions could be completed.
An exciting trip for us and others as well. Our court speeches are done, and practiced. Maybe I can present mine without crying this time......
No matter what happens in that court room next Tuesday, Dias is our child. Forever.
The rest is just temporary hassles.
Not sure if we will have Internet connection this short trip but can go to the Internet cafe.
Please keep us and Dias in your thoughts and prayers. They have gotten us this far. Don't stop now!
Hugs,
Susan
