Adoption Process - Week 20 12/22/2004
More of the same.
Meaning there’s a bit of good news and a bit of bad news.
The good news: Our latest round of documents have been reviewed by our facilitator and he is confident that they will be acceptable. He has done his translation of them.
The bad news: His printer borked just before he printed out the translations, so now he has to wait for a repair technician, who is currently scheduled for tomorrow.
The current plan (I think we’re up to Plan K or so): Assuming he can get his printer repaired tomorrow and successfully print out the translations, he thinks he can get them finalized (i.e. notarized and authenticated) on friday. He then hopes he can submit the whole thing to the NAC on monday or the official dossier submission day designated for next week. For some reason there is only one day each week the NAC accepts dossier submissions. And it changes each week. I have no idea what the reasoning, if any, is behind this, but that’s how it is.
So this is where things currently stand. We’re not quite at the rejoicing stage yet, but we look at each step, however small, as one step closer to bringing our L.T. home and that is something to be glad about!
Ran accross your website when I googled “Regulatory agency clearance delay Ukraine.” Good to know that my letter may actually be “Picked up”. Anyway, I’ve enjoyed your website. Almost like reading my diary!
We started the process in May. Dossier was at the NAC in Oct. Got regristration from the NAC on Dec. 24th. Sent letter asking for appointment on 12/24 - “Stalled in customs”.. we are also hoping for April or May. Good Luck.

PS - This is our second adoption, if you would like to email me, I would be happy to try to answer any questions you might have.
Stumbled upon your website. Enjoyed reading it as if I were reading my own diary. My letter for our apointment to the NAC is at FedEX in Ukraine as your Dossier was. Hope our agency picks it up too! This is our second time. Forget about the Ukrainian phrase book and get a Russian.
Good Luck.
