Stone Summer Plans

We plan to stay here the rest of the time until we are finally able to bring Ryland home.


Here is how the timeline kind of looks for now.

Our 15 day Appeal Period will end on June 29th. During this time we will continue to visit Ry everyday. Once the Appeal Period ends, we are able to take custody of him while we wait for the paperwork out-processing to be completed.

June 30th, we pick up Ry and he lives with us 24/7 at our apartment here in Pavlodar.

Paperwork (birth certificates, passports, exit visas, etc.) gets done and we will leave Pavlodar and head to Almaty around the 11th of July. We will take Ryland to a medical examination and have a final exit interview at the American Embassy. Fly out of Almaty and head home around the 14th of July.

Like all things in this process, this is just a “guideline”!
