We still have no news...no idea what's going on, etc...
Here's a quote from a family who adopted their daughter from Kaz, I thought it was fitting:
"We have more hurdles, including an intimidating court hearing, but we are already beginning to feel like parents. And that's the thing about adoption. It's just like having a kid the regular way, only not. Unlike biological childbirth, there is no such thing as an accidental adoption. No equivalent of the broken condom or "forgotten" diaphragm. This is a deliberate, always conscious, undertaking. I can't say that makes it better—I wouldn't wish the process on anyone—but it does bring with it a certain sense of clarity. Why exactly do you want a child? What price—in money and sweat and tears—are you willing to pay? My answer, prompted by the two most beautiful eyes I have ever seen, is: as much as it takes."

So nice to find your blog. We are also in the process, just having sent our dossier off.
It is a little disconcerting that things change so quickly in that country. Hopefully things will proceed for you in spite of it.
Sincerely,
Keith and Erin
