The dreaded call.....

Ok, I'll just say it......I got the call last friday....my dossier came back from Kaz because of expired documents......How Ironic......I didn't update my docs sooner because I thought it would come back because of the gender issue.  

I spent Friday in tears and spent the weekend looking over domestic adoption sites only to figure out that I am more confused then ever.  On Monday I called Erin who had tried to help me in country about 6 months ago.  Erin has dealt with both domestic and International adoptions.  I knew that Erin would be upfront with me.  She is no longer working with domestic but we talked about Kazakhstan.  Her agency has movement thru DC and she thinks it might still be a viable choice.  I have all of my paperwork updated, with the exception of the Home Study.  She is going to look over my paperwork and see if we can use it .....if we can....it's a go! The Limbo is over.....I can move forward and I am still LOOKING FOR my SAM!!!!!!!!!

-My thoughts and prayers are with you. I had a similar experience today. I am next in line for a female referral with my agency, but there are too many domestic adoptions in Russia right now.

-Good luck! In the end, it will all be worth it for both of us.

I am sorry that you got the call - I have been checking in to see what the status on your dossier was & I'm bummed to hear about this BUT I am glad that at least you know where it is and can make choices on how to move forward. It sounds like you have a great option ahead of you - yay! My thoughts and prayers are with you as you continue your journey to Sam :)

I am sorry that you got the call, but I am also glad that you are so optimistic and that you have another option. It is very hard to pick yourself up and brush yourself off and continue to move forward after such a set back. I admire you persistance and know that you will find your way to Kazakhstan to meet SAM!

A friend of mine is leaving for Kaz today to adopt a baby boy...Kaz is definitely still an option. If you believe that Sam is there, then follow your heart!
