The Fun of Paperwork

Last week and this week are big weeks for the adoption process.  My wonderful husband spent many hours compiling all of the initial paperwork needed for our dossier.  Then that paperwork needed to be notarized locally, certified by the state of Florida, and authenticated by the Chinese Consulate in Houston.  In less than a month we have managed to gather the initial 12 documents, have them notarized and certified, and then sent to Houston.  We are hoping to have our documents back in our hands by Saturday if all goes well.  This coming weekend, we will be having all four of our Homestudy interviews.  Then we will have fingerprinting, more paperwork to have notarized, certified, and authenticated before sending our dossier off to China.  We are hoping to have our dossier on its way to China before Christmas!  So far so good and no papercuts, yet!

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
