KAZAKHSTAN PROGRAM UPDATES
Children?s Hope has 220 families
currently in the Kazakhstan program. This month, two families
will have court appearances in Kazakhstan, with seven families
traveling for their first bonding trip. We expect to receive
travel dates for at least one more family this month.
News about the regions:
Almaty City continues to process
adoptions differently than other regions by currently requiring
three separate trips. Three Children?s Hope families traveled to
this region for their first trip this month.
Karaganda region is temporarily
closed to US families seeking to adopt. Although Children?s Hope
does not have any outstanding post adoption reports for our
families, many agencies do. It is our hope that these completed
families will submit their post adoption reports and this region
will resume adoptions to the US.
Other regions continue to proceed
with adoptions and families will continue to be invited for
their travel to bond with their children and finalize their
Kazakhstan adoptions.
If you should have any questions ?
please contact the Kazakhstan team.
Candace Hirt met her daughter
Annika two years ago, in October 2005 in Kazakhstan. With
many years to come, ?we look forward to each challenge and
reward we will no doubt encounter from each of our
daughters,? says Candace of one of her family?s most
memorable anniversaries.
