Our Adoption: October 2008. Thursday, October 16, 2008. Not much to report. We still don't have anything major to report, but we did get word from our case-worker that throughout our agency, we are next on the list waiting for a region assignment. We are really looking forward to getting this info so we can start researching the area. For now, we need to finish our Hague training (we've really been procrastinating)! Keep your fingers crossed and maybe we'll hear something soon! Fun Times in Almaty!

Our Adoption: June 2008
http://dustncort.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Our Adoption: June 2008. Wednesday, June 11, 2008. Sad news for The Stone's. This week we've received some sad news. 1 Our dossier is stilllllllll at the Consulate. 2 Once our dossier leaves the consulate, we will have at least a 6 month wait until we travel. (According to our agency). 3 There are some in-country delays re: Kaz passports right now, so our agency is recommending 2 trips instead of one. Will I be strong enough?
