I (Pam) have been battling the flu so the only actual effort I've been able to put in is sitting at the computer not moving too fast! But nonetheless, things are moving along.
Our CIC paperwork will be in the mail on Monday! Everything is being notarized over the weekend.
We spoke to our bank last night and requested the paperwork we need from them (basically a letter saying how awesome we are).
We've started choosing which pictures we will send to Russia - you need many and they are pretty specific. You need photos of each room in your home, your pets, yourselves, your families, etc. You need to send two identical sets - one for your dossier (which is reviewed by Russia's Ministry of Education and helps them find a good match for you) and one for your court file (which is taken very seriously as the judge has complete control over granting the adoption).
As the holiday season is starting, all government offices are slowing down and some will be closed for a time. This will slow things down a bit, but we hope it will give us a chance to have some free time together as well. Adopting is a lot of busy work (at least to this point it has been) and between that and our work schedules we haven't had much down time. We'll have everything done that we can, but we are looking forward to a bit of a break where we can walk in the snow, play cards and cook a nice meal without worrying about what needs doing the second we're done. Perhaps there will be enough time to even see the new Twilight movie!! I've never been this late seeing one!
I'll wrap this post with the link to another blog site. Mrs. Slick and her husband have recently adopted a little boy from Russia.
She hasn't blogged her way through it as her agency has strict policies about that, but now that they've come home she has been catching us up piece by piece - and it's a wonderful story! Congratulations to them!
