Thank you for sharing it with the WPA family. We just completed our dossier for Baby #2. I have really enjoyed your running commentary about life in Kokshetau as it holds many dear memories for us; we were in Kokshetau over 2 years ago (has it already been that long?) to adopt our first son.<BR/><BR/>Hope everything from here on out goes well, including your travels back home with Garrett!<BR/><BR/>The Powers Family<BR/>(Maureen, Sean, and James)Maureen Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08119725465055447989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766284571650149841.post-42364822379427169352009-04-08T22:02:00.000-07:002009-04-08T22:02:00.000-07:00Soooo happy to read that Sasha is getting a home t...Soooo happy to read that Sasha is getting a home too! Crying with relief over the good news.<BR/>Before you know it, you will be back with little Garrett too. Years later there will be all these stories to tell and more.<BR/>Looking forward to meeting you in person......have heard so much about you. And can't wait to see my buddy and hear everything firsthand!<BR/>Big hug to all.<BR/>MalarMalarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07101960895008046235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766284571650149841.post-38623621450096329762009-04-08T19:27:00.000-07:002009-04-08T19:27:00.000-07:00I am so thrilled that Sasha has found a home!

I am sure you guys all have lots of emotions about leaving, but know that you will be back soon and you will keep in touch with everyone you have met, if they feel the way we all do about you, they will seek you guys out, you are all wondeful! Even though I know you are sad right now to leave, you are sad because you had such a wonderful experience and thank goodness for that! We are selfishly so excited for you to come home too! Good luck in court, you will do fantastic, I know it. And give Garrett a big squeeze, before you know it you'll be coming home with him on the plane. Can't wait too see you all soon. <BR/>Love,<BR/>Sam, Ryan, and GabbySam, Ryan, and Gabbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766284571650149841.post-67176780053865227112009-04-08T19:25:00.000-07:002009-04-08T19:25:00.000-07:00Have safe travels!I'm sure it will be hard leaving...Have safe travels!<BR/>I'm sure it will be hard leaving but just think everyday that goes by, you will be closer to having little Garrett forever!!!!!<BR/>Looking forward to seeing you guys soon!<BR/>AlishaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766284571650149841.post-2648301251742019402009-04-08T19:09:00.000-07:002009-04-08T19:09:00.000-07:00It’s so nice to know that dreams do come true and ...It’s so nice to know that dreams do come true and hard work pays off. Garrett is such a welcome and wonderful addition to our family. As a mother it’s hard to imagine what you and Tim are going through, having to leave Garrett behind. I’m so glad to hear that he has such wonderful caregivers. Your trip back to get Garrett is just around the corner and will be such a joy.<BR/><BR/>Sending lots of love,<BR/>JeannineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766284571650149841.post-89025670894817078252009-04-08T12:08:00.000-07:002009-04-08T12:08:00.000-07:00Great post!
