News, but not as good as I had hoped for

Latest on the adoption front....I called yesterday and learned that I am not yet approved, but could/should be any day.  They have a group traveling towards the end of April, so that looks like my best case scenario (which is later than I was hoping for).  The ROTTEN part is that if I don't get approved in the next few days or so, I may have to wait until mid-May.  I had not understood before that the trips were limited on the amount of families that one adoption coordinator can handle in-country. Each cycle is 3 weeks long, so only 1 trip scheduled for every 3 weeks or so. Kazakhstani adoptions are gaining popularity right now, so there are MANY families all lined up to go and not as many in-country coordinators and court dates to go around.   I am disappointed to say the least, but I know that most of the issue is my own planning nature and my hopes that everything would go so speedy and that Samuel would practically be home by now.   Wish me patience and the knowledge that things always work out they way they are supposed to.

We're praying for you Sharon...and baby Samuel. Waiting STINKS!!! I remember no news is bad news...not literally...but anything to hang on to helps. Thank God you chose Kazakhstan rather than Belarus or Moldavia! Keep us updated! Kathy
