What a crazy 5 months!
Well I just officially sent our dossier off today. That's 22 documents that had to be collected (sent for, paid for, doctor's visits, etc etc), then notarized, then state certified, and now authenticated! It has been stressful to say the least but finally they are out of our hands (not sure if I'm happy or nervous about that). The great part though is that upon authentication (another 2 weeks probably) we WILL be a waiting familiy officially! We are hoping this could be a Christmas miracle! Not sure what we'll do with all of our time now that we're just waiting, but we are looking forward to getting things ready. I told Jason once things were sent off it could no longer be considered too early to start shopping and planning! Check back with the blog and we'll have a countdown as our number on the waiting list gets closer to the end, should have our starting number as soon as they authenticate our dossier!

So Exciting! Congrats on finishing this final step! I just came across your blog through the yahoo group-we are in the low sixties on the wait list. This is our second ET adoption. I look forward to following you as you hurry up and wait for your little doll to come home!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogging and hopefully the wait list soon!!! It feels good to have that paper chase done....but now a different kind of obsession/wait begins--(ooh....you just gave me a new blog idea myself). We are sitting at #39 for a little girl as well. Our blog is www.stricklandsentiments.blogspot.com We can follow each other. :)
ReplyDeleteEvan, What age and gender are you waiting for and how long have you been waiting?
ReplyDeleteAmber, Thanks for sharing your blog! I think we'll be about number 90 when we get on the list. A gal I have been following turned her dossier in about a week ahead of us and they are number 89!
