(The following post was written in a notebook but not actually posted on the blog until we received our referral because we didn’t tell our family that we were in process. We waited until we had the referral for our son before we published on the blog because we wanted to do this “covertly” and have it be a surprise to as many people as possible.)
I took the last hour off work and drove to Lincoln AGAIN to get the last two documents state certified. I drove back to Omaha and had sometime before the dinner that our office was taking us out to (for Administrative Professionals week) so I stopped at Office Max and made copies of everything that I didn’t have copies of and another copy of everything for the Chinese Embassy. I then went to meet everyone for dinner. Very good, very filling – A LOT OF FOOD! I brought lots home.
When I got home I collated all the copies together. Then, after Meighan went to bed, we got it all together and Tony made the FedEx envelopes for outbound and return to send it to the courier in DC to be authenticated by the U.S. Dept of State and the Embassy of China!
We’ll look it over one more time tomorrow before we seal it up!
WHEW! As I said before…NO ONE ADOPTS BY ACCIDENT! It is a very purposeful and deliberate way to build a family!
