Court tomorrow

Hi forum friends,

I am still in Kazakhstan and feel terrible that over the last eight weeks I have not been able to keep in touch and therefore I truly have no idea what is going on in the lives and adoptions of so many who were a part of my daily life for over two years.

Once home and part of the regular internet world, I will make the time to catch up on what has been happening over the last two months, well it'll be three by the time I get home.

Finally our paperwork issues have been resolved and we have court tomorrow. Can't wait to share more of our details. I hope in the last two months, families have traveled, children have come home and hope for those waiting has continued. Thinking of you all from the other side of the world.

Lovestruck, its so good to hear from you!! I took you off the travellers list just a few days ago as I was convinced you must be home by now and look at you, your still in Kaz battling it out!! I'm so sorry I took you off the list. I'm going to put you back on and in the meantime good thoughts and prayers for court tomorrow.
