Well we are on our way to the Sec. of State office again today. After confirming with Diane this morning on our additional paperwork we needed we are off to get out certification done. It ended up all we were required to add to our dossier was 1 copy of each of our passports. Its just he paperchase part of it that is the pits. It won't cost quite as much as first anticipated so that's a good thing already. Ray told Diane that the in country associate (Duc) will take care of things with our dossier and make them understand that they have th originals why should we need copies. Thanks Duc, Ray and Diane!!!! So we are still on schedule for our referral by mid March as long as Jaden checks out medically and is not adopted by a Vietnamese family. Only a few more weeks and we will be able to breathe easier on this one.
We have registered at Babies R Us over the weekend. There's not much to register for though since we will be needing to buy most of the stuff before we go. We will need alot of the essentials to take along and we will want the nursery to be ready when we get home with her so she has a place to sleep. We don't want to have her thinkng she's going to sleep with us. That's a bad one to start. So other than a few things that would be extras or things that we just want for her we will be needing to shop big time before we go. It was kinda boring registering since we didn't have much to choose from. he girl lookied at our completed registry, and the page they print that shows things you should have registered for, and I think she thought...what was the point in registering. Oh well she just doesn't understand. When I told her we were there to register the first thing she did was look at my tummy. HMMMM!!!!
Well we'll keep you filled on the latest. Please keep praying for Jadens health and safety while in the orphanage. Pray that God will bring her to us soon!!
