Nearing the end of the paperwork

Well I got back the paperwork that I sent to the Secretary of State to be "authenticated" and this morning I sent that paperwork to the Chinese Consulate in Chicago. After ten working days, they should send it back to me and then I will have our dossier complete. We just have to mount 6-8 pictures on 8 X 10 sheets with captions and send those along with it. The great news is I'm done with the post office. There are three workers there and every time I managed to get the clueless guy - same guy. You'd think by about the sixth time I visited him he would have gotten it by now. Duh. Oh well. It's almost done !!

Super excited

Just a quick note. Our I-800 approval for the adoption came in the mail today. That's what we were waiting on. Now we need to get everything notarized, sent to the Secretary of State and then to the Chinese consulate to be authenticated. But by next month (hopefullly) we should have all the paperwork in and then we wait for a few years. Then I will have to blog about other stuff in the meantime. Gotta go have my gluten-free lunch - but that's another blog.
