Did I say that we had completed the last document two days earlier? Apparently not. I am annoyed as this document has kicked back twice. It was not notarized correctly the first time, and so we had to have that corrected. I thought we corrected it exactly as we were instructed.... but I got a call on Thursday from our rep that it was still not correct.
It was an hour before we were heading out of town, and there was nothing we could do about it. The accountant we used was on vacation, and we didn't even have the document. I have to say that I really thought we had this corrected, and I am annoyed at the cost of Fed Ex to ship these documents. I know there is nothing that I can do about it now, but I have to say, I'm disheartened by it.
I am thoroughly sick of paperwork, and am just really bummed right now. Dh knows it, and so on Monday he is going to handle the document correction. I am so glad he is stepping in to do this.
Sometimes I wonder if we will ever really complete this adoption. We turned our application in December of 2006 and had our dossier sent to Russia August 3rd, 2007. 18 months since we applied with our agency, and 10 months since our dossier was sent. I know I sound somewhat dejected....and I guess I am. I've been praying for this adoption since 2003. We were almost ready to begin the process in Novemeber of 2005. In my mind time is just slipping through an hourglass....though I know in God's plan, His timing is perfect.
But I guess sometimes, I can't help and feel like Sarah as God promised her a child in her old age. I know I'm not old, but geez, I'm not getting any younger either!

Jackie, I know EXACTLY how you are feeling right now. But, just think of how much you have prepared and ALL you have accomplished with your finances. Wow! You have not been idly watching the time go by. As good ole Dave Ramsey says "You're changing your family tree" -- in more ways than one!
Hang in there, you'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
I COMPLETELY understand your pain! There have been so many times that I thought I was done and then my agency would be "oh no...you still have x, y and z to complete before we can send it!! aaah!
I also just found out that my fingerprints were rejected and i have to redo...I had them taken in November!!
I once had an adoptive mom tell me that it's not easy, but then nothing in life worthwhile is ever easy.
hang in there. God didn't give you the desire for nothing.
That is so frustrating! We had to redo so many documents, and it always seems like there is one more to do!! Hang in there.
Jackie,
I really feel your pain. We redid my medical I think 7-8 times. The doctor was getting annoyed and I was sure he was going to tell me no more. It took me two weeks to get the document right, try after try! I know how frustrating the paperchase is. Just know that God does have perfect timing. The child he has prepared for you is waiting for you. It is hard to understand his timing sometime but I promise he does know your needs!
