OH NO Please Not Again!!!!!

The Department of State recommends adoptive parents and agencies exercise caution in pursuing an intercountry adoption from Kyrgyzstan. A number of prospective adoptive parents have reported that their cases are not being processed. The U.S. Embassy has requested official clarification, but no formal announcement has been made.

According to local experts, few if any cases are being processed at this time. Further, the government of Kyrgyzstan appears to be making moves to strengthen its internal controls of and develop new legislation on adoptions. It has been reported that Kyrgyz citizens may have been denied the opportunity to adopt during the past year, even while some intercountry adoptions by non-citizens were being approved. At this time it is not clear what action will be taken on pending cases or if the Government of Kyrgyzstan will accept any new cases

The U.S. Embassy continues to monitor the situation and will provide clarification as soon as it is received.
This is the latest announcement from the Department Of State these announcements always seem to come on Friday when you can not speak to anyone at the agency. I will be calling the agency first thing Monday to get info. I have been at this long enough to know that often these announcements are not always what they seem,so I am trying to remain calm. Please everyone keep their fingers crossed for us and that this process will continue. I will post more information as it becomes available. Steve says cooler heads will prevail so I am trying!!!!!
