| Escort services are now available! This can mean a much shorter trip (or only one trip) to Kazakhstan for many families. |
| Escort Service: Travel to Kazakhstan to complete the required bonding period of 2-3 weeks and court date then return home to the US without the child until the court mandated waiting period is complete. Once the waiting period is complete, associates in Kazakhstan will take your child through the US Embassy and visa process and escort them to a major US city. |
