Paperwork is finished!!!! (&Thankful Thursday-two days late)


Can you believe it? Our paperwork is finished! We took all the paperwork to the Secretary of State's office yesterday morning to be apostilled (notaries are verified and the state seal is put on the documents)! We then made copies of all of it, then to the post office to mail it to America World Adoption Agency where they will review all the documents. If we have all the documents and they look good, they will then be translated into Ukrainian, then our facilitator submits our dossier to Ukraine. We will be sending a total of 30 documents to Ukraine.
Wow! That sure feels good to have that done!
It will be a year by the end of this month that we officially started this paperwork process!
Sorry I forgot to write on "Thankful Thursday"! I realized it at midnight Thursday night! Today, we are thankful for people like Jessica & Alice (from St. Elizabeth/Coleman),Jarod(from the Assessor's office),Ka & Deb(from ZF notarizing our documents), Dr. Jeff Ferguson, and Jerry (one of our deacons @ZF)who went the extra mile to help us with paperwork! In this long, and sometimes frustrating, process, it is so refreshing to have folks like this who are "on our side"! Of course, as with any "good and perfect gift" we have to give God all the credit who created these wonderful people and went before us!
