Well - I can't sleep very well. I am so excited to go pick up Maksim for GOOD! Yeah!
We picked up a bunch of groceries and I cleaned the apartment very well this afternoon. Papa and Momma had a very nice lunch at a the Red Dragon (a Korean restaurant). The food was good and I had some SPICY chicken satays. Yum! I am happy to burn my mouth on capsicum. :)
I have had a bunch of questions about the timeline from now, so I thought I would get up and blog. After we pick up Maksim tomorrow, we can apply for his passport. This takes 7-10 days. Once we have his passport, we will travel to Almaty, visit a clinic for a medical check up, then we can go to the American Embassy. In Almaty it takes 3 days. So we are just a couple of weeks from home if all goes well. We hope that the paperwork goes smoothly and we have no more unexpected fees. We'll see.
I guess that was a boring blog. It sounded like it would be much better in my head when I was trying to sleep. :)
NO MORE GOODBYES! Nyet Paka Paka.

We adopted our son in April of 2006 from Kazakhstan. This is a record of the process and life with the beautiful little monkey.

We hope all goes well these next couple of weeks. Just be relentless - if something is taking too long, keep asking questions. We can't wait to hear about taking Maks back to your apartment!
When you get to Almaty, go to Soho. Such good food and an American menu :-)
