Friday, we went to Jefferson City to get the state certification on all of our paperwork except for the homestudy which should be done on the 21st and in our hands on the 22nd. They recognize us when we walk in now, we had our Ukraine dossier apostilled three times there, and now our China dossier certified. We were told that they can not certify my birth certificate because it is a Minnesota birth certificate. I didn't even think about double checking all the policies on certification, because they've apostilled the same birth certificate three separate times, but now say that they wouldn't have done that because it's not from Missouri. At least we found this out now, instead of after we had all of our other paperwork ready to send to China. Saturday morning I sent my birth certificate and a request for it to be state certified, via FedEx to Minnesota. Hopefully it won't take them very long. I'm praying that it comes back by the time we get our homestudy, that way both can be sent to our agency in order to be sent for the federal certification at the US Secretary of State office, then to the Chinese consulate for their certification. The majority of our dossier should arrive Monday to our agency so that they can look it over then send it on for the federal and consulate certification.
It seems hard to understand how I could be patient for three years waiting on Ukraine, now I'm having trouble feeling very patient waiting for all our paperwork to be finished so I can sit back and wait again for our TA.
God knew that Ethan was supposed to be our son long before he was born and long before we decided we wanted to adopt him. He will work this out in his best timing.
Things to pray for:
1. Ethan will be health and safe until we can bring him home.
2. We can get the rest of our dossier together in a timely fashion so that we can be DTC.
3. The wait for our TA will be short so that Ethan can come home as soon as possible.
