FINALLY Preparing to send our DOSSIER!
Finally, we have all our documents, apostiled and ready to go to the agency and then POLAND! Have to put it all together and then send it off.
For those who might not have read from the beginning of my blogging here the timeline....
End of 2012 --started heavily researching and looking at agencies and adoption
January 2013- Turned in Application and Agreements
February 2013- Started Homestudy and gathering the plentiful paperwork needed for the adoption process
May 2013- Homestudy Complete, continuing to gather documents and paperwork needed
August 2013- Received government approval (via I797)
September 2013-ALL paperwork completed--ALL filled out, notarized, apostiled, and whatever else you can possibly think of that comes with the process of gathering all documents for dossier.
NEXT- Will be the dossier submitting.
Soooo, so far, it has been 8-9 months since we really started the process.
You know what one of the main costs of adoption is that they don't really calculate into adoption??.... paying for gathering your documents and then mailing documents.
Especially when you have to redo documents and resend them, because you are always mailing the paperwork and a prepaid envelope to send back to you. Hundreds of dollars easily spent on mailing including getting all documents and paying for those, rough guess, Id say $1,000 in ordering documents and mailing.

Frustrated.
Sent off everything to get apostiled,and 5 documents came back because they did not have a notary statement along with the stamp/seal. Turned those back in after adding a statement to notaries and some still came back for still not being right!! getting frustrated!
Trying to look/think positive still as we are almost done with all paperwork until sending our dossier. But it does go up and down and get frustrating and crazy a lot during this process. Can't wait to be done with paperwork for at least a few months. :)
