Adoption Update: All Dossier Documents Sent!

Just popping in with a little update on our documents! Yesterday we received our last document that needed to be state authenticated back from the Secretary of State. The second (and I do mean second - I waited for the UPS man!) that document arrived, I took our entire dossier to the post office and overnighted it to our agency. I was going to send it via UPS again (and run into my 'favorite' hunting cap employee for the third time) but our local UPS store was closed. So, off to the post office I went. And who did I run into? Our town's favorite postal worker. He's known me since I was a lil' tyke - little enough to get a lollipop. He recognized me, asked me about life, couldn't believe I was married, and then wanted to know if we had any kids. I got to tell him about why I was there - sending this crazy huge pile of papers, and he was so kind and encouraging. It seems fitting that at the last leg of this paperwork race, our long-time postal worker would handle our documents and make sure they arrived on time. :)

As long as everything looks good once our agency inspects our documents, and as long as everything goes well as they're authenticated in Washington DC, we could hear the words, "You're a waiting family!" in 10 days - 2 weeks!

Hooray!!

Much to be thankful for today :)
