Smile I am traveling to UST waiting for LOI
HI! I am traveling to Ust to adopt my six year old daughter. We are waiting for our LOI. The waiting is killing me. What adoption agency are you using?

Hi

We're using Adoption Ark. What agency are you using? How long has your paperwork been in Kaz? Have you zeroed in on any good airfares yet? It's great to find another Ust bound parent! We're adopting a little girl too! Can't wait to share and compare experiences.

Robin

Traveling to Ust
My husband and I are adopting a little girl from Ust-Kamenogorsk as well. We are also using Adoption Ark. Was wondering if you (Robin) have received your LOI yet?

Hi

Our dossier is in Kaz. If it hasn't already, it should be leaving the MOFA and getting to the MOE any time. We are hoping to receive our LOI within three to four weeks.

How about yours? Is it in-country? We are using Adoption Ark, what agency are you using?

ust kamenogorsk
We are using Adoption Ark as well--submitted our dossier about two weeks ago, so it is in the process of being translated. We are wanting to adopt a little girl who is eight.

So when do you anticipate traveling to Ust? Nov, Dec?

Would love to correspond w/you more in depth, my home email is:
murphtvh@chartertn.net

We're also using Adoption Ark. For those other AA families, have you joined the "arkfamilies" group on Yahoo??
