90-Days and counting

So it is now August.  I really did plan to write more over the summer.  I just didn't get it done.  Part of the reason is that we've had some pretty big things going on here.  I can't talk about it in this forum.  So if you're a close friend or family, contact me privately and I'll fill you in.

Today we are officially 3 months out from our dossier submission date.  So now we can start gathering the documents for our final submission before we travel.  Ukraine requires that all documents be dated within 3 months of the dossier submission date.  Our agency wants our documents one month ahead, so that gives me 2 months (60 days) to get it all pulled together.

I have already sent my request for certified copies of our marriage certificate.  We have our medical appointments set for Tuesday.  I need to check with the local branch of our mortgage company to see if they can provide the paper we need about our loan.  If not, then I have to deal with headquarters in Missouri (which requires a Missouri apostille and will take more time than a local document).  Cliff will get the employment letter from his office.  Its a start.

We also must still get our homestudy updated.  I have contacted the social worker, but haven't heard back.  We were on vacation for a couple of weeks, and it is possible that she is on vacation now.  School starts here on the 23rd, so I should be able to connect with her soon.

Feeling some pressure, because Cliff will be traveling again soon, and anything that needs his signature will be delayed if it comes in while he is gone.

Please keep praying for us and for our little girl.  Will update soon.
