~GETTING CLOSER~

JODY'S DOCTOR FINALLY RENEWED HER MEDICAL LICENSE,SO WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE IT SIGNED AND NOTARIZED AND SENT OFF,WE ARE NOW COMPLETELY FINISHED WITH ALL OF OUR MEDICAL PAPERWORK.JODY ACTUALLY TALKED TO A REAL PERSON ABOUT OUR FINGERPRINTING AT THE USCIS / MONTANA OFFICE AND WAS TOLD WE WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR OUR HOMESTUDY TO BE COMPLETED AND SENT TO THEM BEFORE THE WOULD SCHEDULE OUR APOINTMENT.OUR HOMESTUDY WORKER SAID SHE WOULD COMPLETED IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.THESE ARE THE LAST TWO ITEMS REMAINING TO COMPLETE BEFORE WE HAVE EVERYTHING APOSTILLED AND SENT TO VICTORIA.JODY IS ALREADY WORRING ABOUT LEAVING OUR FOUR LITTLE ONES HOME WHEN WE TRAVEL,BUT I THINK SHE REALIZES HOW MUCH WORK AND STRESS IT WOULD BE TO TRAVEL WITH FOUR LITTLE ONES + TIMUR & ALESHA ON OUR TRIP HOME.WE ARE TRYING TO GUESS ON A TIME LINE, OF HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO GET THE LITTLE ONES HOME. FROM WHEN WE GET TO EASTERN EUROPE AND START THE ADOPTION PROCESS. ANY BODY HAVE ANY IDEAS. 4 WEEKS, 5 WEEKS, OR 6 WEEKS.IT IS HARD TO PLAN WHEN TO TRAVEL HOME,FOR TWO WEEKS, OR TOO STAY THERE. TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH THE LITTLE ONES.BUT WE WILL ALSO MISS EVERYBODY AT HOME ALSO.
