Update from Uralsk






Unfortunately we don't have any baby news we can share with you yet - things are slow going, and nothing has been confirmed as of yet. We've taken the chance to go exploring when the weather has been nice enough (it rained yesterday, so it wasn't good for sight seeing). It's mild here - more snow disappears every day. The city is clean, and has an interesting mix of old and new architecture. We've met a number of couples at the hotel who are adopting - from the US, and Germany. It's like a little community - you can share tips on the best places to shop, restaurants, things to see etc. We've been to the grocery store, and managed to find some snacks - not quite the same as home (we passed on the tomato and mayonaise potato chips). Thanks for your continued support and prayers - we still need them!

Glad to hear an update although I'm sorry to hear that your process has been a long one. I'm sure we'll hear more once we get there. We leave tonight so I better get going here.

Good luck and we'll keep you in our prayers,
Karen & Bob

Hi Stacey and Dave,
From what I have heard and from what you have experienced this can be a challenging process. You have come so far! This is a simple saying, but here it is: Take things one day at a time - and if some days that is too much, take it an hour at a time. Have faith, patience, and each other. May you be Blessed with all that you need at this important time in your lives. Dreams do come true! One day at a time.
Many Blessings, Yvonne
