Two words -- still waiting. I did find out after last months post that my dossier did get translated, and was sent on to the Kaz Consulate in NY on June 4. My dossier will stay there until approximately August 4, and then will be sent back to the my agencys partners in Kaz to wait for my actual referral.It is still possible that I could get a referral before August 4th though. I've had this "feeling" lately that it's "close" -- call it mothers intuition -- who knows.In the meantime, I wait, and try not to think about it much (yea -- right!). I did recently agree to sponsor a young man in Kaz who has spent his life in orphanges, and is trying to complete college. I have agreed to pay for his remaining years in college and send him a small amount of money for monthly expenses, and am truly blessed to be able to help him in this way. That's it for now. If I hear anything before next months update, I'll put some sort of announcement on the home page so that you know to look in the journal.
