So, Monday the 28th of March John and I dove to Santa Rosa and back, the same day, and got our fingerprints done for US Immigration. Luckily, our appointment was before the huge slide that blocked US 101. We got there a little early and they got us checked in and fingerprinted lickity-split and then we went to lunch at Russian River Brewery before getting back on the road.
Yesterday, we received our I-797 in the mail approving us as eligible to adopt from a Hague Country, in this case China. So, now I have to take our documents to Cindy and have her notarize everything. I'm still not clear on what needs to be sent to the California Secretary of State for Authentication and how long that will take, but once that is done we can send everything to BAAS and they will take it to the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco and then mail it to China! Hopefully, I can get this done tomorrow or Friday morning as I have so many work commitments this week already. When it rains it pours.
*SQUEAL* Yippee!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand the 'when it rains it pours.' As I said to a friend last week - the colostomy bag of life just exploded all over me. Hahaha!
