In the spring of 2009 we flew half way around the world to adopt a little girl in the city of Petropavlovsk in northern Kazakhstan. This blog chronicles our experiences in bringing her home. We wrote it both to keep those at home up to date on our progress and also to provide help and perspective to those who might follow behind us on the same adventure. Hopefully it accomplishes both goals.

Going to court
Posted on April 23rd, 2009 6 commentsSo we had our court date on Tuesday and everything went well. The judge granted the adoption subject to the normal fifteen day waiting period so on May 6th we can officially take custody. Unfortunately that week is a mess of local holidays and the passport offices aren’t really going to be operational. So the paperwork to allow Jennifer to leave the country will start on the 11th or 12th of May. So cross your fingers and she might make it stateside the week of the 18th.

By Kazakhstan time the judge’s decision is now final so yes, she is ours! Now we just need to get all the paperwork completed to actually get her home.
