HURDLE ALERT......

One more hurdle to jump but it is a low hurdle so I think we will just be able to step over this one!
The DIA has requested us to send a letter stating that we amend our original request of age for our adoption. We initially requested as young as possible up to 12 months. Since Derek is now 16 months we have to send an amended statement stating the age of 24 months. We also have to have it notarized, certified, and authenticated. Soooooo.....we are having it notarized over the weekend and I am driving to the SOS office on Monday morning and then Overnight Fed Ex'ing it out Monday afternoon to San Fran to the Consulate for authentication. Small hurdle but none the less yes it is another one to jump. Seriously I am running out of steam.

Also we have to have our child abuse and state police clearances updated which we completed and mailed on Monday so hopefully that will be a quick turn around time and then on May 2nd our SW will return to upate our home study. Man oh man I never imagined this stuff would expire before we got him home. Keep praying for smooth transition through this paper chase for us!!!!!
