Done and Done!
The courts approved our petition and we are now the proud parents of TWO Kazakh daughters!
The day was long and all of us are a bit wiped out. Don't get me wrong, we are thrilled that it all went well, but now, with all the anticipation released, our collective energies have just found new lows.

Certainly looking forward to a throwaway day tomorrow in Almaty with little to do but sleep, eat, and get ready for Wednesday's longer flights. All that is left at this point is just to sit and await the paperwork's completion - from home of course.
Take Care.

Congratulations to the Morrisons - all four of you!
Enjoy your well deserved day of rest in Almaty and safe travels home to Maine. We'll look forward to hearing from you again there!

Wonderful news. Congratulations to the newest member of the Morrison clan - your very own bright moonbeam.
And remember to take Tougy to the shrine of the Beatles at Kok Tobe.
When we walked the 3 day Stacy tried to explain that we all knew each other on-line but were meeting IRL for the first time. "oh so you are you didn't know each other?" Struggleing Stacy said "well no, we weren't strangers when we met".
I think it is the same way when we meet our children. Somewhere deep inside we recognize one another as mother, father, sister, daughter. And while it is wonderful to have the court's decree it clear now that Nurai was always YOUR daughter, because really you weren't strangers when you met.
Woo hoo! Congratulations! Enjoy Almaty and travel safe.
Congratulations and smooth travels!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
yay! congrats!
Congratulations! It is so great to read "two daughters." I'm sure you'll never tire of saying it. We are thrilled for the entire family.
