Operation: Bring Sam Home!

Operation ‘Bring Sam Home’ is about to begin!

Steve leaves Thursday for Kazakhstan, returning the following Thursday, April 7.

Here are the particulars:
Thursday, March 31: Depart Nashville
Saturday, April 2: Arrive Astana, Kazakhstan (Sam’s first birthday!)
Sunday: Drive to the baby house in Schuchinsk, pick up Sam, drive back to Astana, fly to Almaty, Kazakhstan
Monday: Doctor appointment for Sam at The American Medical Center
Tuesday: rest day
Wednesday: appointment with United States Consulate, process paperwork and receive necessary permissions
Thursday: depart Almaty for home, arrive in Nashville 24 hours later, but on the same day, at 3PM

Steve will not have his laptop, so will not be making posts during the trip. He will have access to email, though, and enjoys staying in contact. :-)

A special thanks to David and Melanie Hill, who have been through this before and have provided much-needed guidance for this trip.

We thank you all for your prayers and support during this last important step of our adoption journey.

Tonya and Steve
