Goodbye Kazakhstan, Hello USA!

We have now begun our long journey home to Tennessee from Kazakhstan, with a very precious carry-on item! If all goes according to schedule, we will arrive in Nashville around 5:30pm Thanksgiving Day.

Our week here in Almaty has gone well, with a smooth process at the U. S. Embassy and even time for some sightseeing in the beautiful Tien Shan mountains. Lily Grace has been a trooper through it all, taking it all in.

We want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your prayers, your support, your words of encouragement and empathy, and for being so in our corner on this journey to become a family. We have been lifted by you, and have felt the warmth beaming this way from the other side of the world.

We’ll send out another post once we’re home and settled.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with those you love.

Steve and Tonya
