The Adoption Process

Keith and I started our adoption process back in July of 2005 at which time we signed with World Partners Adoption, Inc. and then the fun began.....Mountains of paperwork, Immigration Application, Home Study with Datz, Physician's Reports, Finger Printing etc. etc. etc. I have to thank Keith for all his hard work as he made sure everything was in on time and meticulously done, my hero, my husband and my best friend!!!

Keith and I are currently waiting on a referral from Kazakhstan for two infant children and we hope to hear something by the end of March or beginning of April. You can count on being the first to know when that happens as we will be screaming from the roof top, oh yeah, and updating our web-site!!!

The next step after the referral will be travel dates and that we hope will be sometime between May and July. Our stay in Kazakhstan will be for a minimum of six weeks, during that time we will be bonding with our children a few hours every day at the baby house, court appearances to allow us to adopt these children and arrange for our children's new birth certificates, file court documents, apply for passports and exit visas to travel home.
