Fixed? Not so much!

Hello again from the internet cafe. The computer worked for about an hour and then it went kaput again. We'll just wait until we're back home to fix it. At least we were able to post the latest photos before it went down.

We are still on target for our 3pm Embassy appointment tomorrow, the last of the needed documents came today so there should be no hold up. If it works out, we will leave Almaty on Tuesday morning at 9am and arrive in London at 2pm. We will stay in London overnight to make sure the trip isn't too stressful for the boys or us. Then noon on Wednesday we will leave London and return to the states. Our port of entry will be Chigaco and it is there we will take the boys through immigration. As soon as their paperwork is processed there, the boys will officially be US citizens and we will be on a plane home to San Antonio.

Our adoption journey has been a long one with its ups and downs but it is clearly a blessed success as we have our two wonderful boys. We will forever have fond memories of the experience and the country of our childrens' birth. Thanks to all of you for following along and providing much needed comments and support. We couldn't have done it without you.

Back in the U.S. of A. I bet that will be a refreshing change. Best wishes on a safe return home.

The pictures of the boys are great. Looks like you're hands are probably full with toys and diapers!

That computer wouldn't be an Apple product, would it? ;-)

from K,T,J,C--Happy late 40th to Steve( I am sure it is one he will remember). The boys look great and glad you will be back next week--we will be anxious to see all.The process when you come back may even be longer than last time, so be patient with customs. The boys actually look like you two and I know the grandparents are excited. Love, K PS Go Spurs!

Congrats! So glad you are almost home. Did you check with the UK Embassy about Visas for the boys? I probably worry too much, but would hate to see you have a problem with that.

Take care!
