Lots to get done....

We found out a week ago that we are 1st in line for a sibling group with our agency. This could mean a quick referral or a long wait still... really, we have learned to never assume anything with international adoption....

• We DO need to update some paperwork, and one area is our pictures of family and home. Apparently they need to now have these notarized and apostilled before they are registered in a region. So.... I am trying to gather these pictures again. I have no idea why I didn't save these as well in our dossier book that has EVERYTHING....but I didn't. So, I am having to find them, make copies and even take new pictures of certain rooms. UGH!
  
  
• We also have 4 new documents to re-do as the template has changed on those. So we are working on them as well.
  
  
• We have a meeting scheduled with an attorney to go over wills etc, as we haven't done that yet.
  
  
• We have to send our registration back for our International Adoption Doctor.
  
  
• Chris has contacted the travel agency we are going to use when we get the call....and now we just have to decide where we will be flying out of etc.
  
  
• We have a letter to send out to our family and friends...and we are planning a yard sale in another month. And another fun raiser if I can get my act together.
  

There are a million little things on my list to get done before we get the call, so I am not running around like a chicken.... when that time comes. Example: Buy and assemble family photo albums for the children. Buy little stuffed animals, blankets for the children, buy bubbles, inflatable balls, and little toys to bring on trip #1.

So, my thoughts are scattered and I am in hurry up mode, so I can get to the next "wait stage" and take a deep breath!
