INS Part 3

As of today, we have a fingerprint appointment on May 16th in Jackson, MS. How did this get resolved so quickly? I'm glad you asked. Well, our agency apparently has good connections with Sen. Mary Landrieu's office. And Senator Landrieu is a big adoption supporter. So we wrote her a letter explaining what happened and her office called the INS Office in New Orleans and asked them to give us an appointment quickly. So we got an email today telling us to come to Jackson on the 16th. Hooray!

And we got tickets today leaving from Monroe at 7:10 am on the 24th and getting to Almaty at 11:40 pm on the 25th. No long layovers anywhere, but a lot of plane changes! We go from Monroe to Dallas to Houston to Frankfurt to Almaty. What a long trip that will be! But at the end of it we'll be in Kazakhstan, and that's what really matters. :)

This is wonderful news. I find it amazing how many people we have to get involved to get things done the right way. Either way so happy your fingerprint appointment is set up and that you have tickets to travel to Kazakhstan. I am excited to follow your journey.
