We’re going private

To our wonderful blog friends and family,

In this day and age, it seems you can never be too careful. Anyone could be reading our blog—after all, it is the worldwide web.
So for that reason, our adoption agency has advised us to go private. What that means is this “blog” will soon become password protected. If you’re interested in reading along (and we sure hope you are) then please email us at Karen_pere@yahoo.com or leave a comment with your email address and we’ll send you an invite.

So as to give everyone ample time (we don’t want you to feel sad that you’ve been “locked” out) we’ll wait two weeks from today—Sunday, December 9—to go private.

Thank you for understanding our situation.

Hello!

Our names are Keith and Erin and we just heard today that we have been assigned to Uralsk. Our dossier has been sent to this region so all that we are lacking is the LOI.

Best wishes on your journey! Our email address is kdmartin4@gmail.com. We would love to be added to your blog.

Hi Karen -

I would love to continue to follow your journey. We returned home in July and I love reliving the experience with other families. Good idea to go private.

Hi There,
I would love to follow your journey to your child. My blog is private as well. You are making a smart choice. Please click on my profile and send me an email and that way we can view each others blogs (if you want to). I just adopted a baby domestically.

Dana said...

I love to follow along on the blogs while you're in Kaz. We came back just 4 months ago and it was a wonderful experience. I am so excited for you and would love to follow along.

Hi Karen and Bob,
I am also adopting from Kaz. We are almost on the same time line. My dossier got translated then shipped off Oct 30. Like so many others, I found your blog by surfing other blogs. I would love to keep up with your journey as well as you see mine.
My email address is plantpet@yahoo.com and my blog is
http://jentrumanadoption.blogspot.com/
Good luck with your adventures. We just had one family come home with no child and it has set off an email storm of concern. The family is taking this all in stride and it is a reminder that we are dealing with a foreign country and not everything goes the way one plans.
Best wishes,
Jennifer
