Finally an actual adoption post! (However I do have more critter stories to tell.......) CHI emailed me today to let me know that my dossier arrived yesterday at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, MoFA!! YES!!! This means my dossier is finally in Kazakhstan and the next step is the Ministry of Education. The MOE is the last stop where officials will match me with a region and baby house. I am happy that it is still moving, It was at the Consulate for about 2 months which seems about right. We were all worried with the suspension a couple of months ago, that the dossiers would be slower leaving the Consulate in NY. Moving on.........!

....and sometimes we have Greta...Bogie's Mom
We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life, But those who make their journey home across time & miles, growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them, are carried on the wings of destiny & placed among us by God's very own hands. -K Larson-
