Adoption Process - Week 15 11/21/2004
Two Steps Forward…Ten Steps Backward
The Good news:
Our USCIS Approval finally came in the mail.
Our criminal clearance letters were also completed and received.
The Bad news: Our entire dossier except for the above was sent to the Secretary of State of Arizona to be authenticated (apostilled). However, there was a problem with the notary stamp on about 80% of the documents, so it was sent back and ALL of the incorrectly stamped items have to be redone.
What this means: We are in the process of redoing everything. The hardest part is contacting both our doctors and getting them to fill out the medical forms again. These forms are quite detailed. In addition, the doctors are asked to provide a copy of their physician license and testify to its authenticity. Both of our doctors have agreed to complete this paperwork tomorrow. If they complete it all correctly, we will really only be a few days behind our original schedule.
Tomorrow is a very important day for us. Your prayers are appreciated!!
I’ll post an update soon…
I’ll be hoping, wishing, thinking positive thoughts it goes well tomorrow!
