The bulk of the dossier documents (meaning documents originating from Maryland and NC) were sent off yesterday to Washington D.C. for authentication with The U.S. Dept of State and then the Chinese Embassy in D.C. So, we're almost there... The screw up with the employment letter for Derek has unfortunately, put that document lagging behind all the other documents though. So, right now, I'm waiting for that one to come back from the MN Secretary of State before being able to send it to IL to the Chinese Embassy for that region. Alright all you faithful adoption couriers that I've put my trust into, c'mon...the finish line is in site...what documents are going to finish first? NY, Los Angeles, D.C. or MN/IL??? I'll let you know.
