Headed to DC

Our Dosser made it to Texas where agency reviewed our dossier and said it was perfect!! It is on it way to the Ethiopian embassy in Washington DC. From there it will go to Ethiopia where we will be registered!! We are getting so close!!!! It gets less stressful and more exciting everyday. Remind me of that statement when I seem frazzled....

On its way!!!

Yesterday at lunch I headed to the post office and overnighted our Dossier to Texas where our agency is located!!!!!!Once they receive it they will look it over one more time and send it to Washington DC where it will get authenticated by the Ethiopian Embassy. After that it will be sent to Ethiopia. This process will take approximately 3-4 weeks. Once it arrives it will go to the Ministry of health and they will give us an approximate wait time.....Lets pray its short!!

Dossier Complete

Our Dossier is done! On Thursday Wes's birth certificate was to be delivered to the Secretary of States office by 10:30 but it never arrived. I called UPS and they told me it was at the moment uncrackable and most likely lost. As you can imagine I was furious after loosing the first one in the mail! It did finally arrive at 4:50 but it was too late to complete until the next day. Since UPS does not deliver on the weekend we just got it today. I was going to mail it to our Ethiopia coordinator tomorrow but she is moving offices this week so I will have to mail it on Monday. At this point, what is one more week?? We are so close!!!!!!!!

UPS the better way to mail

Yes......The certified copy of Wes's birth certificate is truly lost in snail mail heaven. I had to reorder a new birth certificate and I overnighted it yesterday to the Secretary of states office in Wyoming. I paid to have it overnighted via UPS back to my front door step. This is a guarantee. I guess I should have done it this way to begin with but they told me they have never had a prob em in the past. Not anymore.....I should have the new certified copy by Friday!! Ha I don't believe it!
