The Paper Chase - Round Two

We talked with Vica (our case manager for Yekaterinburg) yesterday and we are hoping to have our travel dates next week. In the mean time she sent us a list of documents we will need to request, notarize, county seal and apostille for our next step for the judge in Yekaterinburg. Here's what we need so far:

1. Letter from your Town Hall/County Hall confirming the ownership of your residence 2. Letter from the Town Hall/County Hall with description of your house or a copy of property residence card
3. Letter from a CPA listing your assets and liabilities
4. Copy of the CPA's license
5. State verification of the CPA's credentials
6. State verification of Jennifer's SW license
7. State verification of Maryanne's SW license, she was the co-signer on our HS report

Can you believe it ... and this is only part 1!! I have no idea how many parts there are but on the advice of another Yekaterinburg family we have requested the medical information to get a jump on making appointments for when we return. Keep in mind that each and every document cost us money and then we PAY to have them county sealed and apostilled. Thank heaven for Penny - our notary -- she doesn't charge us!!!

So here we go .. more paperwork ... we are getting good at these requests and writing letters to different offices and states .... it WILL be worth it in the end when the house has 2 more people in it!!!

Oh... and speaking of paperwork ... we did get an email from Vica today telling us to begin the Visa paperwork ... that means we are getting closer to leaving for Russia and meeting the boys for the 1st time ... WOOHOO!!!
