April showers bring May baby!

Happy Spring to all!
Great news to report!!!
We have been told by our director Karen .....that we will be leaving as early as April 9th or the latest by April 15th..in any way by mid April. Dave and I will be traveling to "Petro" (Trip#1) and staying for at least 3 weeks. Kazakhstan has a mandatorty 14 day bonding time (daily visits..aka playdates) with our little one, then we apply to go to court and wait for a court date to grant us custody. There is another waiting period 2-4 weeks after that so, we will be coming back to Nantucket and wait to hear our agency when we can return (trip # 2) to fetch our little one to take home with us forever!!!!!
Our passports are in DC waiting for our Kazakhstan Visas. We are getting much closer now to start our Kazakhstan travel journey and becoming parents.
The cocus and daffys are just staring to come out and are enjoying the sunshine...spring is in the air!!!
Sending love to all from the island!

Hi! Sending you warm wishes from Austin!

I was in Petro this time last year to bring home my son. Please let me know if I can help answer any questions.

Do you know if you'll be traveling to meet a little one or your child at the older babyhouse?

Warm regards,
Susan
