It looks like Kazahkstan is to Hague which means adoptions are closed!!
Here's the official statement...
"On May 17, 2010, U.S. Embassy Branch Office Almaty confirmed that the Ministry of Education of Kazakhstan has instructed Kazakhstan’s Embassy in Washington and Consulate General in New York not to accept new intercountry adoption dossiers. The Ministry said the moratorium on new adoption cases will remain in effect until Kazakhstan implements a system that is compliant with the Hague Adoption Convention; Kazakhstan intends to put such a system in place by September 2010. Kazakhstani officials have said the moratorium will not affect adoptions that are already in process."
To say that we are disappointed is an understatement. Going on a rant won't help and we aren't much for limbo. While we wait for September and Kaz to re-open, IF they do, we have decided to look into other options.
