I think I might travel in March.
All throught the process of this adoption I keep looking for patterns to help in predicting the future. If the LOI was issued after the dossier was in country for X number of months then I should be receiving my LOI in Y month, etc. I'm constantly checking blogs and updates looking for information to make my predictions. This is really a useless past time. There really isn't a pattern. Even when two families from the same country arrive in Kazakhstan on the same day their experiences can end up being completely different.
Even though I know this is a useless past time, I still spend countless hours a week collecting information to make and check my predictions. As I stated earlier, I'm hoping for a March LOI at the moment.
But then tonight I read where someone also hoping for an LOI in the near future was told that it may not arrive until September. Okay, that's a pattern I'm not even looking into, I'm going to ignore that little piece of info and hope that my predictions are better.
I'm think I might travel in March.

Hoping that you are right...would be a great time to travel!!!
Michele,
March is a great month, and beautiful in Almaty. I know you would prefer to go where others are going at the same time, but I can honestly say that Almaty is fabulous and has some very beautiful babes. I am not biased of course!
Lots of fun things to do in Almaty. If you want I will send you an invite to our blog and you can see pics and read our adventures in Almaty. Email me at sue_and_craig@hotmail.com
Looking forward to some good news soon,
Sue, Craig, Hannah and the Almaty cutie---Nickolas!
Hi Michele, I am just discovering your blog...I think we think alike! I see signs and look for patterns too! I was with another agency in 2008-2009, my paperwork came back...actually everyones paperwork came back. Very sad. I am with a new agency and my paperwork is at the MFA. Yeah! I feel good about it this time and I think March would be a great month for you and I to travel!! Lisa
That's awesome. I was in Petropavlovsk in May 2008. It was a lot of fun to see the season change from winter to spring. It'll be here before you know it.
I guess we're all a little nuts - I do the same thing. How else can we predict what we so desperately want to know...how much longer??
I hope you are right too...although we are all driving ourselves insane trying to figure it out. I keep telling myself and others that I am living in 3 week increments right now, I don't plan anything out further than 3 weeks if it involves a major committment or cash!
Look on the bright side you are not travelling when it's -50C in Kaz!!!
