LOI update :o( 3/2/07

We received a phone call from the new program director for Kazakhstan and she basically told us that all the information we had received for the past month and even up to a week ago was wrong and she wanted to clarify the LOI process. We were told upfront when we began the paperwork, a year ago, that the LOI would take up to 12 weeks to process once Kaz had our dossier. Our dossier has been in country since MLK day. Thursday, we were informed that they have recently seen LOIs take up to 5 months. That puts us leaving in June!!! We were heartbroken and angry - I felt like punching a hole in the wall and Kristi laid in the nursery holding a blanket and just cried. So now they are telling us that there will be no other updates until our LOI reaches the U.S. and they call us to tell us to order our plane tickets, get our visas, and start packing. However, they will continue to call us and tell us that there is no update - great!

If this drags on any longer, I guess we will be heading back to the outlet parks and turn in ALL of the winter clothes and get some more spring clothes and start getting summer clothes now. We first heard about our child at 6 months of age...now our child is about to turn 9 months...we may not see our child for another 3 months!!

Please pray for us...we do not understand and are having a hard time finding God in this process, especially since we have been through so much in the past 5 years
