The dossier is finished and delivered!!! A dossier is a large bundle of paperwork (2"thick) which consists of every imaginable type of personal document, letters, forms, applications, histories, and even pictures which identifies who we are and our ability to adopt from the great country of Ethiopia. Each one of these documents are notarized and certified by the Secretary of State from which the document originates. Each official certification is verified by the respective Governor of that state. I think it would be less trouble to have Tiffany's hysterectomy reversed!
While making copies of our dossier, I found a certified cover sheet which had the wrong notary listed. AND it of course was attached to the most important document - our home study... So I took off work a half day to take the whole dossier to Topeka and have the Secretary of State re-certify our home study's notary and then to FedEx it overnight to Portland Oregon to our agency. At this time our dossier is in the hands of the Ethiopian authorities in Washington who will translate it into their language - Amharic - they will then authernicate the same documents we just had certified and send it to Ethiopia the Ethiopian Government will then either grant us two young lives or deny us our little children. Our agency has 'people' working on our behalf.
And now we wait, and wait, and wait...
