Local lawyer who speaks English, and whom the mother contacts now to start the relationship.

Are you worried about this being an "enemy country", where he won't be safe or he'll be taken advantage of, or the US will look askance at his ties there? Because I'm getting that feeling now. If the mother is a local, I think there are less chances of that.

I don't know why the mother wouldn't contact the other extended relatives. They might not have talked in years, but this is surely something they could help with. Without knowing my friend's friend, who had inherited real estate in my home country without speaking the language, I agreed to help him! Had I been an extended relative, I would have felt obligated to do so.

I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill about all the wrong things, OP.People are nice in Kazakhstan :-)

Thank you so much, this is very helpful!
Yes let’s call the country Kazakhstan for the purposes of this thread. Animosity towards US is not a big issue in this case. It’s more about “let’s fleece the dumb foreigner” and just plain gawking that the mom wants to avoid.

She has relatives and friends there of course but none of them speak more than just rudimentary English, and they are her age (she isn’t super close with their kids).

This is all something to think about. Thank you once again. [/quote]
