There is hope...
I have not heard back from Asst. Stork about whether or not the other agnecy submitted our paperwork through them, but I did hear some good news about a friend of mine using the same agency that are using. Her dossier was submited to Kaz yesterday!! YAY for her! I know she is excited and I am sooooo happy for her! So whether it was Asst Stork or someone else - the documents did make it to the Embassy (at least hers did - LOL!!)
Not only is that good news for her, but good news for us...I hope. We were both notified on the same day that our dossiers had been submitted to the Embassy, which I hope means that ours is not too far behind theirs in terms of making it across the big pond (and some land too). I have an email to D to get an update. Update: apparently theirs was a couple of weeks ahead of ours. The response I received from D was that "a family a couple of weeks ahead of you had theirs sent to Kazakhstan yesterday" (OK not an exact quote - but you get the idea). I can only assume this is them. If that holds true we have a couple more weeks to wait - so we wait....
Also, we may need to get a new INS clearance. The age of the child we accepted is not within the age range we had originally been approved for. I am not sure if the INS cares or not - so that is another email to D, asking if we need to do anything about that. So that may be another little bump in the road - we shall see. Update: according to D the age is not listed on the clearance paperwork for the INS (I cannot remember the name of the form right now H-something I think). So we are good to go on that front.
If I get any more news today, I will be sure to update this post!

R sent me a link to the blog of another family who is currently in Kaz. It seems I am not the only one with bad luck (although it seems as if theirs is getting better)!!! As soon as I figure out how, I will add the blogs of the families currently in Kaz so you can get an idea of what we are in for!
