Adoption Process - Week 14 11/14/2004
I spent a lot of time this week just being anxious - worrying and waiting for these last few items to come through. One item has come through, but the other two have not. Another of them, the Immigration approval, has supposedly been mailed to us. We expected it in the mail yesterday (Saturday), but it did not arrive, so I’ll be coming home at lunch on Monday to check the mail and make sure it arrived. Then, we (Cheri and me) will probably be aggressively pursuing the final documents - police clearances for Steve and me. Cheri is hoping to get everything apostilled (authenticated by the Secretary of State) this week as well and sent off to Ukraine once it is complete!
Basically, this week was just full of a lot of waiting and worrying and hoping. Next week may very well include the huge accomplishment of the completion of our Dossier!! My personal goal is to be less stressed about it all and start focusing on the upcoming holidays.
