And one step back, that's what it feels like at the moment anyway! After being promised photos and more medical information by Mon/Tue of this week we have just found out that the coordinator who works in the Almaty region has been called away on a 'family emergency' for a week. It's frustrating but something which has become all too familiar over the last few years!The latest news is that our agency will receive the updated info on Mon of next week, Mon just happens to be the Labour Day holiday in America (typical) so we should get the information by Tuesday lunchtime. We already have a meeting set up with our paediatrician on Tue/Wed of next week so it should be in time for that.
Our revised timetable is as follows -
Confirm acceptance of the child after our paediatrician meeting next week.
Apply for letter of invitation which should arrive 20th Sept.
Sort visa and book flights and be in Almaty last week in September.
Pray that our paediatrician will be happy with the latest medical and photos and will give us permission to travel.
Pray that the paperwork will travel quickly.
To keep you all going here is a pic of some kids from an Kazakhstan orphanage :)
