Almaty Update
Hey everyone. Just a quick update on us. We arrived in Almaty on Sunday night, and so far everything is going smoothly. Taylor went to the doctor's yesterday and checked out fine. Today, we got her Visa. The only thing left is to come home, which is something we would love to do but can't seem to get out any earlier than the 26th now. We will make the most of the remaining time here.
Sorry this is going to be short, and we may not have another update until we get back home. We are at an internet cafe right now. Unfortunately we can't access the internet at our hotel.
We can't wait to see everyone. Wish us luck that everything goes smoothly from here.

Hey you guys
Best of luckt on your journey home. I am not sure where you guys are staying but a friend I have met who is in Almaty adopting just finished her 15 days of bonding and she is also stuck in Almaty until the 26th. I wish their was a way to get you guys in contact with each other as she is literally all alone and going stir crazy. If you happen to check this before you leave let me know and maybe you guys can meet up with her. She unfortunately got stuck on the new Almaty rules with 3 visits.

I am glad that you guys will be arriving here soon. It will be nice to see you guys and to meet Taylor. It will be a blast at the party. Aubrie is excited to meet Taylor. I think they will get along well. Besides, your trip has been worth it. You are coming home with a very beautiful little girl. I am so very proud of the both of you. And Mae, I know I have been ragging on you, but I do it in a way not to anger you. You know me, HAHA funny. See you guys soon. Love ya much
We will be saying a prayer for you for safety and patience as you travel. The feeling of landing on US soil was amazing and knowing Taylor is now a US citizen just adds to the joy of home sweet home. Best of luck to you.

Glad to hear you're on your way even though it's not for a few days yet. How would you rate your entire trip in Kaz? I can't wait to hear updates from your home. I haven't been able to do it yet but soon will. Enjoy your sweet baby Taylor and I wish you a smooth trip home. Keep in touch!
Hi you three, glad to hear you made it ok. We really missed you at the gathering last night! Strange without you three and Annette and Kate. Will be thinking of you and wishing you a safe and happy trip home. Drop us a line once you are settled in to let us know how everything is. Matthew misses his little girlfriend!

Hey guys-
Maren and I wanted to write and let you know we have been thinking of you'll. We hope things are proceeding smoothly in Almaty! We saw Annette and Kate yesterday before they left and hope their trip was safe and uneventful! It is hard to believe that you'll are heading back to the US this Friday. Have a safe/uneventful trip and please stay in touch going forward. We look forward to watching Taylor as she gows and blossoms!

Your blog did us much good during the ups and downs of our journey. Taylor did an excellent job of reminding us what lies at the end of the trail. Best wishes as you travel home!

Enjoy your final stretch toward home. Thank you for sharing your experience -- it reminds us that there is hopefully a light at the end of the tunnel. Praying for a quick, safe and quiet journey home for you all :)
Best of luck to you in your travels back home! I have enjoyed reading your blog so much! It has really helped me while we are waiting. Taylor is a beautiful child and you are all so blessed!
I got some good news today from our agency. It looks like the Karanganda region may be opening again soon! Say lots of prayers for us!

Hi Guys:
Don't know if you will get a chance to read this before you leave to come home. Just thought I would take a second to thank you all for keeping us informed while you have been gone. Now you are three and we couldn't be happier. Have a safe trip and we will talk to you real soon. If you need anything please don't hesitate to ask.
God speed and hears my prayer for a safe uneventful trip home.
Hugs to all
Debbie
Hello Maegan, Tony, and Taylor,
Kjersten and I have been following your blog throughout your Journey and are very happy that you are soon to be coming home. Congratulations to you all and I hope that the trip home is a smooth one. I know we all saw each other there in the baby house entrance but we just didn't know what to say. We expect to return in late Oct. Take Care.
All the best,
Steve and Kjersten
