What began in the summer of 2008 is now just a couple of days from completion. When we touch down in Boston Saturday afternoon, this adoption process will have reached its end, and Nurai Morrison will be an American citizen as well as our daughter.
Our American Embassy visit this afternoon went smoothly and quickly as anticipated and now we are back in our room counting down the hours.
We went up to Kok Tobe this morning to take in the perpetual brown/grey haze and imagine the city below and the snow covered mountains beyond, and took what seems to be the obligatory adoption finale photo with the Beatles.
We continue to be overwhelmed by the amount of support and love we receive from all of you and are very grateful to have such a wonderful team behind us cheering us on and sharing in both our joys and frustrations.
Thank you for all of your comments, they really are manna over here in country.
Take Care.

Your photos, both colorful and joyful, celebrate the finale of your adoption process like fireworks on the 4th of July! Hooray!
Nurai is just beautiful and every time I look at her I just cry... I am so happy for all of you. Nurai has family to call her on and my goodness what a family it is! Tougy is going to be so happy to have a sister to play with and fight with too! LOL
You are almost on your way home, enjoy every last moment of your daughters birth country.
Much love to all of you. ((HUGS))
Your pictures are amazing, as usual. I believe you are on your way HOME now, once and for all. I hope you have a very smooth trip and I look forward to hearing from you when you are home and settled. Anelya turns 1 tomorrow, so big weekend here!

Love seeing you with the Beatles, which is photo evidence that you are in Almaty and almost home!!! Less than two days for you now :)
Guess we somehow missed the Beatles statues while we were in Almaty! Loved the ski mountain and skating rink. We were in Almaty exactly 4 years ago today. Boy how time flies. Safe travels home!!

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I begin to get real money.
It's all about how to choose a correct partner who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the profit with me.
You may ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:

So happy for you all!
