I was trying to wait a bit on updating everyone on the adoption process until I here back from our agency on whether our dossier was returned. Kazakhstan has issued that Dossiers that have not made it to a region and specified a gender will be returned to be redone. They say that all children should be treated equally and therefor all children should have the chance to be adopted. So, we are now not allowed to specify whether we want a girl or a boy. Well, Wes and I asked for a girl in all of our paperwork.
We have not told our agency our plans yet but if our Dossier is returned we will probably drop out. We have not waited nearly as long as other mothers and fathers out there but I did not want a huge gap in age between Turner and a sibling. And, I loved the fact that our family would have diversity! A totally different culture to learn and incoporate into our 'American' heritage. But, things change.
Wes and I have a beautiful boy. Most parents waiting to adopt do not have any children. We are so lucky to have him which is why I can not complain or fuss about not getting a referral. We are just going to wait and see what happens next.

We are all hopefull that you will end this journey with as much compassion and selflessness (is that a word) as you began it with. We love you!
It's interesting how "things happen for a reason" actually starts to make sense. Being a family that was also impacted by the policy change, time has helped us figure things out.
