20 Apr 06

Hello All
We don't have anything new except that our coordinator called last night and confirmed our court date is 28 April at 3PM. That erased some of the hope we had that it would be earlier, but this is what he told us to expect from the start. The only potential issue is the expiration of the license of the US adoption agencies that did our home study. The home study was done almost a year ago, and since then, their license came up for renewal (31 Mar 06). They renewed it, but just got it back from the state of Delaware last week. Since Kaz viewed this as an expired license, we had to have them FedEx a notarized and apostilled copy of the new license to our coordinator here. Our coordinators handled this, but it makes us a little nervous that it will be lost in the mail. Kaz wants everything notarized and apostilled, even if it came from a federal or state government to begin with. It's better to be safe than sorry, so we'll have the new license (hopefully) by our court date.
We were also told that our interview with the social worker (who will testify at court) may be this Friday afternoon, but we won't know until 1PM Friday. Otherwise, it will be next week. Thanks for all the support we've received. We will try to reply when we can.

Hope all goes as planned with court and the social worker. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you receive the license as planned! If we don't get our LOI soon, our homestudy is likely to expire while we are in Kaz (unless we still don't have an LOI in June!). Take care, Deb McGill

I know there was another couple that had the same issue with the liscense. It worked out fine for them--although it was a nail-biter. It will for you too! Fingers and toes crossed here!
