ONE more piece of paper!

I had hoped to have all our paperwork heading to Richmond tomorrow for the apostille seals .. . . . but we are still waiting for our police clearances. Pray that they come quickly, so I can send them as well. It has only taken one month to gather everything, but a month away from our little girl has seemed like an eternity. As soon as all documents are sealed, our dossier will head to Russia for translation and then we should hear about a court date. I am thankful to be near the end of this paperchase once again--hopefully the last time!

Steve and I are having so much fun getting the house ready for our daughter: putting together furniture, measuring entry ways for safety gates, cleaning out closets (o.k. this is really only fun for me), working on the baby shower registry and having great conversations that begin with "when Natalie is here . . . ." :)

So, the journey continues. Thank you for walking alongside us--you are loved!
Karen

Amen sister, I know how you feel on the paper trail roller coaster. When this is all over we will not remember this part, but only the joy that came into our lives.
Praying for you,
Missy
