At long last . . .

This is the piece of paper that all the fuss was about. The UPS guy left it on our front mat this afternoon. (Good thing it wasn't raining -- he didn't seem to be too worried about its safe arrival.)

Anyways, this arrived at 3:30pm and by 4:30pm it was at Fed Ex! Barring us forgetting to include something in the package, this should be at American World Adoption Agency in Washington D.C. by Wednesday and hopefully in China within the next two to three weeks. HOORRRAAAAHHH!!!! America World still has to assure everything is correct and then take it to the Chinese Embassy and U.S. State Department for additional certification before it can make its way to China.

It is amazing that it took nine months of our life to compile the fourteen documents that made up our dossier. Nine months, a lot of tears, and a lot of yelling at the computer or the phone or the mailman (in my head!) Anyways, China, here we come!!!!!! (Well, not really, it's still years away, but at least the paper chase is completed.)

9 months? LOL!

I'm not minimizing your experience, dear friend, as I'm familiar with how difficult the paper pregnancy is. I just find it funny that it took 9 months to get this rounded up. It just can't be coincidental in it's humor. 9 months of labor...lots of tears, sickness, yelling, screaming, praying...just without the incontinence and stretch marks. ;-)

Andi that is really something ... I think this is the second time I have done this without realizing. But it really was nearly exactly nine months. LOL.
