June 22, 2007


Finally! After waiting over two long years we are finally going to Almaty, Kazakhstan to meet Robert. We have experienced many twists and turns during this adoption journey but we keep telling ourselves that it must be for a reason. Chuck and I leave on June 27 because we have to be there by June 30. After about three weeks our official bonding period with Robert will be complete. Unfortunately, it now takes six to seven weeks from the time of arrival to get a court date so, Chuck and I will be returning home around July 22 when the bonding period is over. We will return later for our court date and then there will be another three to four weeks before Robert can actually leave. I will probably end up going back a third time to bring Robert home.

Russell will be staying with Mimi and Poppee during this time. They will be going to North Carolina with our family friends which Chuck and I hate to miss out on! After we get Robert home we can actually plan our lives again. That's a novel concept for us.

Thanks for everyone's prayers and well wishes during the last two long years! Keep them coming our way.

Best, Nancy and Chuck
