March 16, 2012 ~ This was a big, exciting day for us. We had our biometric appointment downtown Columbus today (fingerprinting for Homeland Security). We also got all of our dossier documents certified by the Secretary of State while we were downtown! On our way home, we stopped at FedEx and shipped our 35 document dossier to our adoption agency along with all the pictures they needed. All 35 documents had to be notarized, certified in the county in which the notary is registered and then certified by the Secretary of State! What a relief it was to ship that off!! In the adoption world completing the dossier is like climbing Mt. Everest!! Now, we have to wait on our approval letter from Homeland Security and as soon as we get that, we will send it to our agency and then our dossier will be on it's way to China!! Woo Hoo!! In the meantime, while we wait on the approval, our agency is sending our dossier documents to Washington to be authenticated by the Chinese Consulate. I am so thrilled that we have crossed the hurdle of completing our dossier and I can't wait to get the news that it is on it's way to China!! I'm just praying that everything goes ok with getting our US approval because when I had my prints taken the lady said there is a 50/50 chance my prints will get rejected because she could not get a good read. (said my skin was too thin) I'm really hoping that it all goes through without a hitch. Thank you to everyone who has been supportive and praying for our journey to get our little girl!
