The New Kazakhstan

First and foremost....We still don't have any news that we are able to share. I can't go into much detail at this point but will share more when I can.

Kazakhstan is changing everyday as far as adoptions go. We have dodged a lot of bullets so far and are hoping that we continue to be so lucky until our adoption is complete! Kazakhstan decided that they no longer are allowing gender selection but grandfathered those in whose dossiers were already in Kazakhstan....(dodged that one..) They also decided that they are not processing any more dossiers that haven't already gone to the consulate until further notice (bullet number 2 dodged!). I am hoping that we don't get anything else that we can't dodge but with Kazakhstan these days you just don't know.

It has been exactly 1 year since we mailed our application in and I thought by now we would have been done and probably would have been had we been 6 months earlier sending in our application! With all of the resent countries closing to adoptions (Guatemala, Vietnam, Nepal, China being a 4 yr wait, etc) everyone is flooding the available countries...which is perfectly normal.
