Certified Dossier & a Teaser

Last week, we sent our whole dossier (minus the 797C from Homeland Security) to Tallahassee to get certified.  All of the papers that were notarized in our dossier (paperwork to China) needs to be certified by the state.  So we chose to certify all of the papers now. We are missing 1 paper for our dossier, which is our fingerprint approval from Homeland Security. 

Well today we received all of the papers back from Tallahassee, CERTIFIED!  Woo Hoo!  I am so relieved.  Last time for Ethan's adoption, there was an issue with one of the notary's stamp so they could not certify the form.  Thankfully this time everything is good! 

Well, the day before we sent our papers to Tallahassee, we sent the I800a application to Homeland Security. They received it the next day (Nov 8).  This past Sunday we received an email & text saying they have received it and are processing it and we should be getting our fingerprint appointment in the mail within 10 days.

Well today, this little piece of paper came in the mail.  I was excited and ripped open the envelope.  Well, it's just a notice saying they have received our application and they are processing it and we will be getting our appointment letter soon.  UGH!  We already received this info on Sunday!  So now we still wait for our appointment letter.  Hopefully it will be soon.

So we still wait.  And wait!  That is the name of the game right now.  We have hit the waiting stage.  Oh how fun!

We are in the process of putting care packages together for the girls.  We just need to work on their letters.  Hopefully we'll be able to get these out soon.  I'll post pictures when they are ready to go.

Until next time....
