More Papers...

Apparently, our Dossier made it to Russia without some necessary documents.

We thought that we had it all ready to go.  Checked the list & documents before heading to Austin.  Checked the list & documents after getting them Apostilled.  Checked the list & documents at the FedEx Office after making copies.  Checked the list & documents before sealing the envelope. 

The papers we are missing were not listed.

Papers they need:

*2 notarized copies of the Home Study with the correct ages listed.  (check)
*2 notarized copies of the Psychological Evaluation for Chris (No check)
*2 notarized copies of the Psychological Evaluation for Rachael (No check)
*2 notarized copies of the psychologist's license (No check)


I have contacted the psychologist.  He should be able to get it all together tomorrow and get it in the mail to us.  He is in Houston, so it shouldn't take long (mail wise that is; not sure on the timing of the psychologist).

We have copies of the Home Study ready to go.

Now we wait again.

This shouldn't put us behind as the judge that will be hearing our case (along with several other families) is having some issues with the Apostilles.  He wants the Apostille to verify the signature of the person signing the paper, not the notary's signature.  The whole point of the notary is to verify the signature of the person signing the paper.  The Apostille is to verify that the notary is legally allowed to verify the person signing the paper.

Confused yet?????

Either way, we should be 'back on schedule' by the end of next week.

On a different topic, our water heater decided to spring a leak yesterday.  Thankfully the home warranty assigned a great plumbing company to it.  By the time I got home (around 4:00 pm), we had a brand new water heater installed and heating water!  Our cost: $55 service fee.  Home Warranties Rock!  Since the date on the old water heater is from 1979, I think it had a good life......
