Hi Lisa,
I'm so happy for you. I am also adopting from Kazakhstan with CHI. I applied in Feb. and got my dossier sent to CHI in August. It is now in Kaz and I am waiting.
There is so much mystery in this adventure of International Adoption but is is so exciting.
I'll be thinking of you and following along on your blog.
