jimmywalt~ I'm not a veteran poster on here but I wanted to say Congrats! Do you have to wait the full 7 months before the baby can come here?

Hi. Thank you!

It's actually quite a drawn out process (but I'm sure that it will be well worth it at the end). My wife has actually made friends with another woman who adopted from there, and the saying they all have is that they are "paper" pregnant.

The process includes
  • A home study which takes 4 to 8 weeks. During this time we need to get passports (takes 4 weeks), get finger prints and FBI clearance checks, copies of birth certificates, marriage licenses, taxes, well water reports from the DEQ, proof of dog shots up to date, floor plan of house, pictures of family & house, etc. etc.
  • Submission of documents to Homeland Security (not exactly sure of time involved)
  • Documents sent to Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then to Ministry of Education - both in Kazakhstan. This takes about 4 months.
  • Get Visa once "Letter of Invitation" is received - Approx 3 weeks later travel to Kazakhstan.
  • Child is not "referred". When you get there they take you to the baby house and you see photos and medical records of 3 children to pick from. Or you can "pass" and get more pictures/medical records to pick from. Then you have a mandatory 14 day bonding period with child.
  • 3 to 5 days later you have to appear for 'Pre-court" where you are asked why you want to adopt, etc. Judge then grants adoption.
  • Parents fly home for about 4 weeks until Court actually give final adoption. Child gets VISA/Passport and then comes to America.

So the quickest it could be is about 7 months before we meet our child. Of course it could be much longer as well.

Apparently there are 100's of baby houses (orphanages) where childen are located. Many are left here until they turn 18 years old. Girls are typically adopted more often than boys, therefore we really hope for a boy. Also, the Kazakhstan residents have the first 6 months of a babies life to adopt before international people can adopt. So the youngest we could get would be about 7 months old.

So our son could be born right this minute, and we could possibly meet him in 7 months. Smilie

Don't worry... it usually takes quite a bit to make the T chatters squirmy. But you need to be prepared for a lot of talk about pee, poop, pregnancy, and other random stuff. laugh out loud

Quote from MyNameWasTaken :
I used 4 poptart TQ's and got no beeps. This was even during my trip that the GSTL and the LOD watched my whole transaction...they didn't say a word about using more than 1.
No problems at all! RKT rang up at $2, and they were plastered with peelies bounce Did 5 orders with 5 peelies and 5 .50 tq. (not back to back, 2 sep stores). Was so much fun

Quote from jimmywalt :
Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been here in awhile, but I wanted to share HUGE news with everyone who remembers who I am.......................

We are adopting from Kazakhstan!!!!! bounce *snip*
Congrats!!!

I was totally the windshield today, LOVED it. Loved the snow storm too because no one was shopping. Awesome haul, completely awesome. Meat guy had a TON of meat that was sell by tomorrow, I now have a freezer packed full of sutton and dodge yummy Got some NICE steaks for $2. They are thick, about 1.5 inches. I am so excited. I love thick steaks because then they do not get cooked well done. I hate well done...

Found $1/2 Goldfish peelies, and goldfish were $1.52. So $0.04 for 2 bags of goldfish. Lots of other stuff. Between 5 trips at T, 4 publix trips, 7 cvs trips, 3 riteaid trips and 8 walgreens trips, PLUS the gas to get back and forth PLUS our eating out today I spent under $150. woot Even best, I made $90.32 from walgreens in RR and over $80 in rite aid rebates. Oh and about $20 in manufacture's rebates woot

I had the best cashier. There was no one in the store, and she was like I am going to just go really slow and talk to you, is that okay. I was like fine. LOL. Everything seemed to beep (well of course I had some bandaids, dd insisted on $2.94 per box of doras Mad ) but she was like I know you bought all this stuff. Then we stood and chatted for 15 minutes after I checked out. DD was only child in store for story time, so they gave her 2 boxes of fruit snacks and the 3 boxes of juice pouches, LOL. She got the 4 dr suess books also, and a bunch of other goodies.
