Well, we found out some more information about what's going on with the Kazakhstan consulate; probably not to anyone's surprise, this means more waiting!
I post the exclamation point with a smile...obviously, we'd love to hear that our process is quickly moving along through each phase. Since that's not the case, we're having to not only be patient, but to get aligned with God's timing and will. That's definitely a blessing of this adoption process...the nature of it and our original reason for making this decision forces us to continually look back to Him in these times and realize that it's not about just getting it done quickly and that there's probably much more going on with the matching of our child with us than we could ever imagine.
We will post more later, but the details provided to us actually mean significant changes to the dossier submission process going forward. Kazakhstan is apparently overloaded with dossiers due to various factors, including the cutoff of all Vietnamese adoptions and the ability for families adopting from China to initiate a parallel adoption in Kazakhstan during the wait. Because they have way more dossiers then they are staffed to handle, the consulate has suspended incoming dossiers. This suspension is indefinite and we are hoping to be able to submit again in August at the earliest.
We will keep you updated with anything else we know. Please do keep us and our baby in your prayers.
Thanks so much again for following this journey with us - it means the world to us!!

We, too, are waiting to be submitted (to the Embassy with our agency). It's hard to wait, but we are also trusting that this will get us to the child meant to be with us forever. Staying busy has helped so far...we just hope it can continue to pass the time quickly!!!
This may, or may not, help...I was openly frustrated with God, and everyone else involved in my adoption, while the months(years) dragged on. It seemed there was no good reason that He would withhold a child from me. Months after bringing her home, I realized that all of those months of complaining where when Allee was being conceived and carried full term by her birthparent. The baby GOD created for me just wasn't born yet! He knew before ANYTHING was ever created that Terry and I were always meant to be her parents. He is SO perfect!I would not have wanted it any other way!She is our child.
