WHY Kazakhstan?




Many people asked us why we selected the Kazakhstan as the country for our international adoption.

1. The children in baby homes are well taken care of, receive developmental stimulation and excellent medical supervision. Ratio of caregiver to child is 1:4.

2. Infants are available as young as 7 months.

3. Parents spend time bonding and getting to know their child before committing to adoption.

4. Our agency has relationships with 4 superb orphanages throughout KZ. We don't know which one will be assigned to us until we are invited to travel. Each region has been well established and staffed with a facilitator, a translator and a driver.

5. Kazakhstan is a melting pot of flavors and we very much look forward to the travel and experiencing the Kazakh culture!

The first entry


We are Kerry and Dan, welcome to our Kazakhstan adoption blog!
As of May 30, 2007 we are about 2/3 of the way through the paperwork process. In a few days we have an appointment to get our finger prints taken through the Department of Homeland Security.
Thanks to everyone for your kind words of encouragement and support, it means a lot to us.
