Progress...

So far I've got exactly one document state certified: Brian's birth certificate. I have another document in the process of being state certified, but that one had to be county certified first. Ugh.

Once we receive Brian's employment letter, I have to send it back to Pennsylvania to get certified then I can send that and the 2 Ohio documents to New York to be authenticated.

I'm waiting to collect all the Indiana documents, then I'm going to make a trip to the Indiana State House to get them certified in person... that should be a fun day! Ha!
After I get all the IN documents certified, I'll ship them off to Chicago to get authenticated.

All the authenticated documents then get sent to the agency for review before they get translated into Chinese and shipped overseas. China has to make the final approval.

All in all, we're making progress. There really isn't much left to do but fill out the Waiting child Application, and wait!
