We FINALLY got a date for our re-adoption. It's in late June. Yay! I have been so envious of all the families that traveled after us that have been showing off their ceremony photos. I couldn't believe how quickly they all got their post-placement paperwork done. I guess it's a state-to-state thing.

I can't wait until we formally adopt Gracie. It's especially important for me since I didn't go to Vietnam.

Of course, they spelled my LAST NAME wrong on the documents they sent to us with our court date. Tom and I have the same last name, so... We called the court and the girl was REALLY apologetic and just kept saying how terribly sorry she was for the typo, that she knew how alarmed we must be.

I wasn't too upset, actually. After dealing with the paper-chase, you get used to these things. Of course, it's easier now that Gracie is home.

But, if we are going to go through another paper-chase for our next adoption fairly soon... I need to get ready for these sorts of things all over again. And that's all I will say about that for now.

Funny how paperwork issues that would have been so stressful before are no big deal once your baby is home and safe in your arms. :-) So exciting that you'll be starting another paperchase soon. Are we thinking brother or sister?

The ease of the readoption for us had to do with the fact that Lana came home on a IR3 visa. If she had come home on an IR4 visa (which I believe Gracie did, because you couldn't travel) we would not have been able to do the readoption for several more months.
