Oh Happy Day....

ok, so we were waiting on ONE last referral letter...our social worker worked so hard to get everything together so that we could send to immigration before we left..and she emailed me this morning and said, "Guess what! All the stars aligned and I am done and our director approved it this morning!" She said it is the 2nd fastest one she had ever completed as a social worker for adoption! So we were scheduled to meet for me to pick it up and ship that baby off! BUT, then a call...

"Amy, I checked the mail for the referral letter, and it's not there." Shoot! "But , if you can find someone else within a couple of hours and they can email over, I will notorize it." So, we got on the phone, John called a good friend who also had worked with him in the past, and thankfully he could do it! So, somehow it all worked out and I got it in my hands today at 5 PM! I went straight to FedEx, printed the form (my printer decided to act up today of all days) and double checked everything.

I am SOOO glad that is done. Wow, I know if you have gone through this process you know exactly what I mean, but let me tell you if you haven't...it really IS a lot of paperwork. A lot. And it has to be PERFECT..or they reject it....and send it back for revisions...and more time goes by....SO, can I get an AMEN!!:)

Now we can relax a bit, wait for another fingerprinting date, and prepare to send off our dossier! Another step...:)
