The Perils of Paperwork!

Well, it is hard to describe the amount of paperwork that goes into the adoption process. Anyone who has done it knows it is tedious. You check, you double check, you express mail, your agency receives it, forwards it, it is translated and then off to your region. So I thought I was right on track and then came the email. You forgot a form. And I think a pretty important one at that. It was the Power of Attorney form that must be in place for our coordinator to present paperwork on our behalf. Argh!

I sent it Friday, it is is Cheyenne, but since Monday is a federal holiday, it will be AT LEAST Tuesday before it is able to start the process headed to Russia. Nearly a week behind all the other paperwork. It would not be such a big deal, but things only happen on certain days in Krasnoyarsk. Court is always on Tuesday. Court dates are always assigned on Wednesday. So if our paperwork is not there by next Wednesday ( march 2) we will have to wait another week to be assigned a court date.

Nothing I can do about it now. It may all work out, but that is the latest update. We can only hope we are lucky and get a quick date, but we will eagerly accept any date so we can start planning on getting our little guy home with us!
