More paperchasing today. T. went and got copies of the marriage certificate and a sheriff's background check. We still need to get copies of his divorce decree and a letter from his employer, both of which need to be certified from the state(s) they are from.

It's a lot of waiting right now. I just REALLY want to get this (second) dossier completed and into our new agency so we can get in line for travel. Despite referral time, the travel clock starts ticking the day the dossier gets to Vietnam and is officially submitted to the government. Our agency is hoping that it will be sent in in the next two weeks. Then it gets translated when it's in Vietnam, so that should only take a few days. So hopefully second or third week of April we'll be officially. I am hoping and praying.

A list of things we need to get done, for my own mental health:
- letter of employment needs to be certified (different state)
- divorce decree needs to be certified (different state)
- local/state stuff needs to be certified here in Florida
- may have to get new health forms
- a few other documents need to be certified and faxed to agency

Okay, that wasn't a good list. ARGHHHHHHHHHH

Chel (pronounced "shell"). 34. Mama to Gracie. Artist. Friend. Adoptive parent. Scrapbooker (not a very good one, at that). Long distance swimmer. Animal rescuer. Wife. Beader maker. Vegetarian. Rubber stamp collector.

Why the change? This new face of gingerblue.com is the culmination of three online journals/blog (the adoption blog, the baby blog, the art blog), plus the personal web page I have been maintaining since 1995. Here you'll find updates on Gracie, updates on my jewelry making, what I have going on in my art studio, and what's going on with life in general.
