Breathe

We have done so much paperwork, that the thought of doing more makes my stomach turn! We have started the second segment of our dossier, but it is no longer just filling out paperwork. We are having to hunt people down that can help with very specific requirements.
For instance, Russia requires us to send them a certified warranty deed for our house. We we able to pick it up at the county recorders office. However, our zip code has changed since we bought our house and because the zip code on our warranty deed differs from the zip code on all of our documents, we have to find someone who can verify that change.
After hearing about this, I just had to breathe. It's not a big deal. I am sure after a few phone calls I will find the right person, but it is still another thing that needs to be done. Adam and I realized though, that we needed to take a break from it, just for the weekend. I must say that I am now feeling refreshed and ready to start again.

On another note, we just received Novembers monthly newsletter, and the wait times are, at this time, 1-6 months. They have seen a trend where families who adopt are bringing their children home within 1 year of completing the homestudy. Our homestudy was completed the end of August, so that is exciting news!

Please pray that we have the time and energy to complete all the coming papers. I am struggling with concentrating on them, making phone calls and researching information, while taking care of the boys at the same time.

Blessings,
Anna
