The Paper Chase

This past Tuesday, the 13th, we sent out another swath of paperwork to New Life. That packet included medical releases, foreign adoption agreements, travel agreements, and references. That didn't leave a whole lot left in packet 2! We still needed to send pictures of the house and of our family life, and copies of our passport signature page. We have the pictures all rounded up and ready to go- they will be sent out tomorrow. It was actually a lot of fun going through the piles of DVDs full of pictures to pick out ones that represent "us"! It brought back a lot of great memories! We are still waiting for Alli's passport to show up so we can finish off the last item in this packet.

When I got home from work today I found packet 3 waiting in the mailbox! This is the third (and final) packet of forms we need to fill out for our dossier. They call this paperwork phase we're in "the Paper Chase", and we are understanding why!

What's ahead in this packet:
-Medical exams/reports
-Financial statements
-Employment verifications
-Letter of Application to China
-Guardianship Letters

All of this notarized, 2 copies each, of course. :-)


More updates to come as we dig into the latest heap of paperwork!

Thank you all for your contined thoughts, prayers, and support!

Love,
Gary & Alli
