Today we drove to the Post Office and mailed our I-600-A to the INS in Atlanta. It's so exciting because we have now taken the first concrete step in our journey. After we mailed the form we took in the Saturday Morning Market and window shopped at the baby second hand store. I told Tom this store would become dangerous later on, as it's within walking distance of Campus.

After much discussion, research, and prayer, we now know that Kazakhstan is the country we are meant to adopt in. Russian adoptions require two trips now, and we just can't imagine meeting our child and then have to leave him or her behind. We like everything we've read about Kazakhstan and the agency we've been looking at specializes in Kazakhstan.
