We heard from the agency today that they are in possession of a fully completed, stamped and certified court decree approving us as parents to Nicholas James Wolfe...YIPPEEE!!!
What we also heard, unfortunately, is that due to two separate holidays coming up in May, we will not be able to return to do the final check-up and embassy visit until May 18 - a week later than we had hoped. Seems we keep getting caught in the bad timing trap.
Whatever. I've made plane reservations to head out the evening of the 18th, with my sister Florence - a truly wonderful woman who will help keep me going and keep Nicholas fed and clothed! We are scheduled to arrive early on Sunday, May 20th. At some point that day I'll actually get custody of Little Man.
Early Monday morning we'll go to the western medical clinic. All test results should be ready the following morning, enabling us to go to the US Embassy to obtain the all-important Super Secret Sealed Envelope required for entry into the states, which is to take place the following day.
So, if all goes according to the current plan, the three of us will arrive in Boston at rush hour on Wednesday, May 23.
Think positive thoughts!

Yes, that's me...truly wonderful!!
I hope you two got off OK and have been happily reunited as a family of three!
Best wishes for a smooth trip through Almaty and home!

The suspense is killing us, Nan! Are you all in Almaty? How is Nicholas? Is he still the ladies' man I remember? Did the Almaty Lodgings Roulette game result in staying in the Kazzhol or just in a Hole?
