We're submitting our dossier!

Well, Phil took our last few documents down to Atlanta today to have them apostilled and everything looks good!!! Tomorrow morning I'm shipping the dossier off to OAA. Yay!! It seems like we've been saying we're "almost done" with paperwork for so long now... it's so hard to believe this actually might be it for a while!

I'm sure some of you are wondering what the next steps look like... Well, if all of our paperwork looks good to OAA, they'll get it all translated. Then they'll submit it to the Kazakhstan Consulate in NY, who will then send it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kazakhstan, who will then send it on to a region. Then the region issues an invitation and we travel! I think that's how it goes, at least :) Of course, it's looking like our invitiation to travel will probably be late summer at the earliest...

Please pray for patience for both me and Phil as we begin the next leg of this journey...

Love to all,
Amy
