We have started a new journey.
Yesterday we sent application to a new adoption agency to begin the process of adoption from Kazakhstan. Our long term goal is to have 2 -3 new children in our family. We continue waiting in China, however due to significant slowdown in the referral process, that wait may still be several years yet. In searching photolistings of waiting children we found a little girl.
She waits in Kazakhstan for her forever family. We hope that family will be ours.
She is nearly three and she is beautiful. She was born with cleft lip and palate. The palate still needs surgical correction.
We hope you will follow us on this journey as well as our journey to China.
