Sorry, but there have been many families who have returned home in the last year with babies younger than 12mths. The process for Kaz has gotten harder but the age of the children outside of the Almaty region remains pretty young. Remember many families choose children that are right at 6mths old, we did with our son, were in a one trip region (Uralsk, still usually one trip) and were home with him in 6wks. I know someone who traveled in 2008 and was asked to adopt an infant because there weren't any toddlers available.
Here's an extensive list of blogs from adoptive families, as you see many are from the last year and have adopted infants.
