Notary, County Certified, and Apostilled.....

I wrote this on June 19th, 2007..... (I'm just doing a little back tracking to get this blog to the present date).

I am getting more encouraged.... we are getting closer to being done with our paperwork. All of the pages to be notarized are almost complete and then we will be able to get them certified by our county... I'm really hoping by Friday, that all will be ready for the drive to the capital to have each document apostilled. Basically, it puts the State Seal on the cover of each document (like 40 of them), and makes everything official. Oh to be done with that!

We are waiting for two items to be apostilled from different states. Our marriages license and our medicals. We were fingerprinted last week, and our approval to adopt internationally usually takes 6-8 weeks from when you are fingerprinted. I am hoping for 6 weeks or less. Hopefully, all our paperwork will be complete, and we can send the I171H Fed Ex to our agency and we'll be ready to be translated in Russia...
