Hi everyone!
We're excited that our dossier (the story of our life, finances, medical conditions, etc.) is finished (whew!!!) and is now on it's way to our adoption agency folks in the Ukraine! They'll translate it into the Ukrainian language and then wait in line to submit it to the Ukrainian authorities. We're not sure how long, assuming they approve us, it will take to obtain our "invitation" to travel over to the Ukraine to meet our young son, but we hope to travel by the spring of 2008.
Just the fact that we finished the dossier in 4 months is something we're proud of. It's pretty amazing what documents we had to present and all of the notaries we had to obtain etc etc. I tell people that it's like we're both applying to be CIA agents; that the info is that deep into the threads of our lives. It's a wonder that we weren't stripped searched by the president himself! :)
Anyway- Now we wait. We get our son's bedroom ready. We read up on how to handle adoption related issues. We read about how to be parents. We relax for the last time (yes, we know this....).
Thanks for your continued love and support. We're extremely excited to enter into this new chapter of our lives together.
Love,
Michelle and Bob
