Paperwork progression

The last week or so has been a flurry of paperwork activity. We got several things we had been waiting for in the mail that I then had to run around and get notarized. It's amazing to me that there are only a few things left on our big list of paperwork that we need to finalize. And most of them are out of our hands- we're just waiting on other people.

We also had some good news- our doctor's physicals were supposed to be notarized. When I made our appointments I made sure there was a notary in the office who could take care of this for us. Well, unfortunately, she quit the day before our blood work came back and thus, the papers were not notarized. We were trying to figure out an alternate solution and mentioned to our family coordinator the situation. She told us it was okay that it wasn't notarized and I was excited! I had run out of ideas of how to get this fixed and am so thankful that it's okay. And honestly- this has been our only real issue through our whole paperchase process. We are so thankful at how quickly and smoothly everything has come together.

We had an email from our social worker that she is going to send us a copy of our home study for review this week and then we will meet with her for the last time next week to finalize. We are thrilled that our August timeline seems to be a reality. Now we will still be waiting for one more piece of paper from USCIS, but I am believing that it's going to come quickly. Please, Lord!
