Remainder of Dossier to Agency!

Well, we went to the Secretary of State today and got the rest of our Apostilles done. Afterward, we overnighted our documents to IFS..........they should get them on Monday, copy them, and then send them right back out to Russia on Monday as well. I've requested the tracking information for both sets (she sent out the 1st part of our dossier earlier this week so Svetlana could start translating it) and will update you as soon as I have that information.

Levahna told me that Svetlana is also waiting for a document from Moscow (snail mail) to allow Isabelle to be "released" for adoption. Once she has that document (along with ours) she can set the court date. I figure she should have all of our documents by August 27th and all of them translated no later than August 30th (she said it only takes her about 3 days........and most of the documents will be there by about the 20th). I really hope the Moscow document is there by the time the rest of our documents get to her. I also hope that we are one of the 1st families in court once the judge returns from her vacation on September 10th. Only time will tell though.

Please pray for speedy travel on the documents, a close court date, and money for the trip.

Thanks!!!

Terri,

Everytime I look at your DH holding Isabelle I am amazed at how much she looks like him!!! She is such a cutie!! She looks so happy. Praying for all the papers to be completed and for finances. Have you applied to the Lydia Fund? You can say we sent you. :)

Be blessed,
Wendy
