Pretty gold seals...

After only 1 hiccup, we finally got our 2 Ohio documents and 1 Pennsylvania document authenticated at the New York Chinese Consulate. They arrived via FedEx yesterday! (FYI: we used www.legal-eaze.com for the currier service and they were fantastic!)

AND last Wednesday I traveled down to the Indianapolis Government Building. After wandering around for a while and finally finding someone to direct me to the certification office (in the basement, FYI), I got 15 documents state certified. I still have a couple more Indiana documents to get certified before I send them to the Chinese Consulate in Chicago for authentication. Thankfully, Indiana doesn't charge for this service and I was in and out in about 30 minutes!

In other news:
Our social worker thinks she will have our home study typed up and ready for review by the end of the first week of May! Moving right along!

Also, we have looked at the website exactly 1 time since we've been told we could. It is very intimidating and a little sad to look at all those faces. There was one boy that kinda tugged at my heart a little bit. When we requested more info on him, we found out that we can not receive additional info until our Special Focus Child Application had been approved. 
We are patiently waiting for that to go through and have decided not to look at the site again until we have full access to everything. 

That's it for now... this waiting stuff is for the birds!
