The latest update!

What's going on.... are u leaving soon?
Here is the latest update at this time.

1.Dave and I are waiting for the Kazakhstan embassy in DC...Mr. Almat Alderbekov to finally approve our dossier with the latest information he requested.

2. Dossier travels through the Kazak Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Education.

3. Region assignment

4. Recieve a letter of invition and get visas

5. Travel to Kazakhstan to meet Baby Kinney

So....between now and then we just WAIT . We have been told by our director at our agency that we probably wont be home for the holidays. What a great present to finally meet our Baby Kinney and bring in the New Year 2009!

I continue to prepare us for our journey...making sure we have all our long underware,cashmere and snowboots and all other outdoor clothing and gear! As, time passes by the island of Nantucket it gets really quiet and gray so...it will be a good time to be away. We will miss our dinner parties with friends and game nites too but, I hope we can find some Kazak fill in friends for that.
Well.... that all for now.

Getting ready for baby !



WAITING FAMILY ! October 2008

Dear Family and Friends,

As david and I prepare for our up coming trip/journey to travel to Central Asia..Kazakhstan to adopt our little baby Kinney. We look forward to be sharing our experiences with you all. Our plan is to write a daily journal for all to read and share. This will also be our "Life Book" for our little one to view when they are older.

So, please sit back and enjoy reading about our new daily life in Kazakhstan.

Sending love to all,

Leith and David
