Nina is almost paper-ready to leave Kazakhstan! She has her passport and exit stamp which are now being registered at the consulate in Astana this week. With that in place, we can go to Almaty for the post-adoption medical exam and exit interview at the US embassy. It would be possible to go next week but there is this small matter of the Icelandic volcano! Flights have not resumed yet, and the initial check on airfare is $5k per ticket! (3-4 times higher than last time). I need to check to see if we can travel the other way around the world or something. Also, we are still waiting on our updated I171H US immigration paperwork since our fingerprints expire this Friday. This seems to be par for the course. Let's see how this all plays out this week.Monday, April 19, 2010
