Ten Too Many Times

That's how many times I have tracked our FEDEX documents today. I seriously need a new hobby, so I started making a new "scrap-blog" book for the year 2007 using Blurb.

New Medical is Complete!

I was able to redo our medicals today and scanned and emailed them to our facilitator so that he will have them. I will send them off to a courier tomorrow who will apostille them in Sacramento because our local office was closed due to cutbacks in California. Hopefully, our travel date will be moved up. The quicker Alexsey is home, the longer he will have to spend time with his new siblings before they go back to school in August.

I will begin shopping for plane tickets tomorrow, and will call a few branches of our bank to ask them to set aside the newest looking money they have for me to sort through for our trip. I emailed the owner of the apartment we stayed at last time, and Julia is almost packed.

Can you believe this is finally happening? After all this time, Alexsey is getting a family!

Praise God!

P.S. I would really, really appreciate if all of you that have sent cards, gifts, well wishes, or donations would email me with your name and address. You don't have to say what you gave, but I would like to include you on a mailing list if that is alright. My email is thereed8@yahoo.com.

Alexsey Here We Come!

What a birthday present for my Hubby John! We got the call! We heard more news than was even expected! Not only was our paperwork submitted, but we also got a travel date! We have to be in country on July 15!

However.........

they did not like one word on our medical and so we have to redo it. If we get it to them ASAP, they will move up our travel date!

Hopefully, I can get it done today or tomorrow!

Trickling In

I was happy to receive our other marriage certificate yesterday along with our police clearance letters. I also received our homestudy! Three more things I can check off my list. As always, the last thing that is holding us up is our orphan petition letter from immigration. I hope that it comes soon!

Thank you for all that have helped Julia to raise money for her plane ticket to travel with us. Hopefully a handful of you guys got your orders this week. What do you think? :) She has been working diligently on her orders every evening. If you have committed to ordering something, Julia will begin to work on your order after we receive the check. This just ensures that people who have already paid get their order in a timely manner.

Thank you for ordering the adoption window decals too. I think eight have already been spoken for. I have fifteen left so please spread the word! I have already gotten three comments about the one on my van...... it is such a powerful way to declare adoption advocacy and give people something to think about.

Blessings!
