I could have kissed the UPS man when he returned our dossier today. It has now been notarized, certified, appostilled, and authenticated ... and I should add, meditated and prayed over (by me). Seriously, the last signature was Hillary Clinton's (truly!). I immediately drove it to our adoption agency in order to get it out of my hands and into theirs. Here is the list of what the dossier included:
Agency recommendation letter
Two Power of Attorney Forms
Statement of Reason for Adopting an Ethiopian Child
Three Pages of Photographs (family members, inside of home, outside of home)
Original Home Study (15 single-spaced pages)
Letter of Employment for each Applicant
Financial Statement
Original Birth Certificate for each Applicant
Photocopy of each Applicant's Passports
Original Marriage Certificate
Original Declaration and Attestation of Health for each Application
Original FBI Clearance for each Application
Two Letters of Reference Per Family One Obligation of Post-Placement Contract
Photocopy of WHFC Agency License
US Citizen and Immigration Services Approval (no small feat)
Whew, I'm exhausted all over again, but not too tired to share a celebratory toast with Phil tonight. Every milestone counts! We're getting closer girlies!
