Well, we finally heard from our Coordinator that we are going to Ust- Kamengorski, Kazakhstan.
To many of you this sounds crazy. To our ears it sounds like music. That is where our baby girl is. If you look on a globe it's exactly on the other side of the world. On this map here it's the city most North/East. We are now waiting for Our LOI. Which is our Letter of Invitation to go to the country. Once we get that letter we can get our visa and then we are gone. Alla our coordinator here in the US said it will be about 2-3 weeks. So now we are trying to get everything ready to go. Stopping our mail, getting Nellie(puppy dog) over to Uncle Wally's house, getting travel insurance..... It's a crazy time.
We both feel so blessed that this is happening. I also feel that this has been and still will be the hardest thing we will ever do. But it occured to me yesterday that it should be this hard. Of course if it was easy I would think something illegal is going on with our agency.... but what I'm really trying to say is that this country is giving us, Dana and Bill Spyker this little precious life to us. And in trusting to us the future of this little girl. How amazing! This can't be taken lightly. This is important. The most important thing I will ever do. I'm sure of it. That is why I believe the process should be tough because it's that important. Nothing good ever comes easy. And boy this is SO GOOD!
