I came across your website on the KZ adoption chatroom. I really enjoyed reading your story, that is what I could read between wiping tears from my eyes. (Tears of excitement for our future adoption.)
I also appreciate all the detail you provided which will help us in our planning our trip.
I wish you and your entire family so much happiness!

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed reading your adoption story. I stumbled accross your site this morning after 'popping' in to the kaz yahoo group. I considered adopting from there myself, but ended up adopting a little girl from China. As a single I am now too old to adopt again from China, and thought my adoption days were over, but after seeing your website I'm not so sure....! Thank you for moving me to smiles and tears. Vicky and little Lily

Marie, Bill and Family, You all are amazing for what you do to help these children. Gianna is an amazing part of the family and I keep her and Anthony's pictures on my computer and brag about them often! They are beautiful little angels!
Love You

Terri, Myself and our little addition Joey want to tell you that the site is wonderful and that the children are all beautiful. We cannot wait to see more of you all especially in church. Matt wants to just nibble those adorable cheeks on Gianna. We have missed you guys in church the last couple of weeks and hope to see you all soon.
Sincerley,
Matt, Terri, & Joey Jester

I had tears in my eyes as I read part of your entries. Gianna is a special little girl. It is amazing to see her growth, both physically and emotionally. The smile on her face now says it all!
I will be leaving at the end of this month for Kazakhstan to adopt a little girl. Reading the range of emotions you experienced, along with the practical information, has really helped me visualize and prepare myself or this journey. Thanks for sharing!
I hope my first message to you and your parents was not lost, but I wanted to write again to say how beautiful you are. I try to look at your pictures at least twice a week and we both can't wait to meet you in person. We wish you and your family all of God's blessings and hope to see you soon.

Thank you so much for sharing your adoption story. My husband and I are in the beginning process of adopting from Kazakhstan and we were truly inspired by your journey. Gianna is gorgeous and looks very happy.

Congrats on your little girl. My niece's name is Gianna.
Thanks for sharing your experience. It's hard to try to think about the travel process without being able to read from first hand experiences and see pictures. Your site gives a visual to what we can expect.
All those cute little kids. Oh it will be hard to leave with just one.
