The Last Document

Good news! We received the last corrected document in the mail yesterday! Woo hoo! Today we will scan in those corrected documents and e-mail them off for approval from our agency. Once those are approved we are ready to take a drive the Secretary of State to have them apostilled.

Our homestudy is in its final stages and should be ready any time. Please pray that it would be done in perfect time to travel with us to the Secretary of State so that we don't have to take two trips. Also, pray for the wording of our homestudy. There is one phrase in it that we disagree with and have asked them to take it out, but their initial response was no. We have asked again and are waiting to hear back as to whether they will remove it or not.

Lastly, we are aware that even with a "favor" for our BCIS clearance, the Orphan Petition Officer is greatly behind on issuing appointments for fingerprinting. We've heard that he's up to 4 months behind. We do not need this for our first trip, however, we do need it to bring our daughter into our country. Once I have a completed homestudy, I will begin "rattling cages" about our daughter's need to get out of Russia in hopes that they will get us a fingerprinting appointment. Please pray that we would be able to get this taken care of before we leave on our first trip.
