When will I travel...


Trying to determine when you will travel to Kaz is a game most families end up playing. There is no line in Kaz and the agency you use, the region you go to, the age and gender of the child you want are all factors that affect your wait.


My agency estimates that I will get my region assignment 6-9 months after dossier submittal and then travel 1-3 months later. My dossier was submitted in Decmber so it has been almost 5 months already. I have been following the blogs of other families that are with my agency, LMI. Two families just got their regions and are getting ready to travel. Comparing how long they waited once their dossier got to the MFA, I will be at that point in less than 2 months. Things tend to slow down in the summer so my best guestimate is that I will travel this fall sometime. It could be sooner or it could be later.


Summers are very hot (100+) and they do not have air conditioning. Winter are extremely cold with lots of ice and snow. So spring and fall are good times to travel. I'd rather have traveled this spring, but I will be happy to travel this fall(Of course if I have the option, I will travel this summer- air conditioning or not!!)
