Welcome to my Blog!


Dear Friends & Family - I hope you will share my journey to Kazakhstan to adopt my daughter with me. I am leaving on Monday October 12th. I will arrive in Semey, Kazakhstan (where my daughter is) on Wednesday, October 14th.

I'm to meet her on October 15th, but I'm hoping they will let me meet her right away on Wednesday the 14th, when I arrive.

Kazakhstan is between Russia and China. The area I am going to is Semey, which is near the border of Russia.

I am to stay in Semey 5 weeks -- so there will be a lot to write about.

  4. Karen,
    Best wishes on your travels to meet this lucky little lady! Let us know how you are getting there - - - why does it takes 2 days? Is anyone meeting you and helping you around? Where do you stay for the weeks you are there? I'm very curious how all this happens.

    Well I know you have a guardian angel travelling with you and helping you through all this excitement. Keep us informed, I love that you thought to put this blog together for us to follow.
