Chasing the Paperwork.... Part II

Well as one other Yekaterinburgh family has said .... "THE FUN BEGINS!!" We got our list of 2nd round documents needed for the judge last week and after a conference call with Vica on Friday we are now working to complete the 2nd list of paperwork!!!

This list includes 23 items which range from letters from our CPA, description of our home, to letters from our bank with balances of our checking and saving account to eight ... that's right 8 medical doctor appointments with specialists!!! I have been busy calling neuroligsts, pulmonary specialists, infections disease doctors to get appointments for me and Stephen in the next few weeks. We have been doing okay, BUT it is difficult to convince the appointment scheduler that you aren't really sick just need to complete a form for internation adoption! OH and we are also looking for a psychologist and psychiatrist to see us!!! It's crazy but it is what it is and we are trying to be organzied and get it all done as quick as possible.

Keep you fingers crossed for us!

Hi Christine!

Thank you so much for writing on our blog. It's been an incredible journey and we are in our glory now.

I shudder when you mention all the paperwork as it's sitting here on the table in our Ekat apt. This is our only adoption (could never afford another one!) so we didn't know anything different. They said "jump" and basically we said "how high?". We just did what they asked and now we are here. Do what we did: keep your eye on the end of the rainbow and you know the prize...it makes every phone call, dr. appt, check writing marathon, etc. so worth it.

I'll be keeping tabs on you...best wishes!!
