Today we got some great news! While we were sitting in the lobby waiting to get Katie, Erken showed up and started telling us some information through Dinara. She was translating as he was speaking, pausing now and then to listen to him. Midway in the translation, while she was reiterating something about Saturday being a special "Doctor's day" in Kazakhstan, she suddenly looked at Erken and burst out "Really? Wow!" She immediately turned to us and happily said, "You can take Katie with you on Saturday." At first, we thought maybe she meant just for the day, but then she told us that it would be for good. We were so excited we could hardly contain it. Saturday is five days sooner than we were supposed to get her! Needless to say, we were bouncing off the walls the rest of the day, and Katie seemed to be excited too. It is so great knowing that we only have to visit her one more day, then she is ours for good!
We just wrote an update letter about the good news. If you haven't seen it, go to the Update Letters page to read it.
