Yep, that is my new and improved 171-H letter*. See that blue arrow. That is all that needed to be changed! It was the only thing in the mailbox yesterday. I really should have taken a photo of it sitting in there. This is the very last piece of GD paperwork I need. I think my head will esplode if I have to fill out, notarize or apostille anything else until after this kid is home. The next piece of paperwork expires sometime in September and that is the Certificate of Residency letter from our mortgage company. It took 2 months to get. So if that expires I think you will find me litterally dead under the collective
loony bin bed.
There is no word on the status of our paperwork currently sitting on a desk somewhere in Khabarovsk. We are hoping that it gets filed to court sometime this week. As soon as it does I think I will lose it. That means all we are officially waiting for is "The Call." Enough to put me into parenting panic.
So I rearranged the Blogroll. Sorry to those of you who were used to it the old way. I thought it was better this way. More difficult for me to update, but with the wierdness going on over at Blogrolling I thought it was better this way. So now if Blogrolling gives up the ghost I won't lose all of your precious links.
*No it doesn't really have those black marks. That is something dumb that photoshop did when I saved the file.
I like the new blogroll, by the way, it's cool to be able to browse around and find new sites about adoption from other countries!
I also like the way you've organized the blogroll. It's very helpful and orderly :o)
I like the separated links, too. I may copy the idea.
p.s. Thanks for typing "esplode." I'm still chuckling.
congrats on being done... what a good feeling that is...i remember dreaming of paperwork during that time in our adoption process
I like the blogroll thingie too (fyi it's spelled Colombia, I figured that out the hard way myself)
Congrats!! This is wonderful news and one step closer!!
congratulations!!

It comes in a plain white window envelope that says "Citizenship and Immigration Services" Of course that could just be for WA. It looks like they just rubber stamp the envelope with the address.
It is pretty anti climactic (sp) when you really look at the form. I was like, "I waited 15 weeks for this!?" the first time.
