That is wonderful.<br /><br />If only everyone could charge all these extra expenses for updating paperwork to those from the old Imagine who spent our money on luxury items for themselves and are the reason the updates need to be done in the first place.<br /><br />I hope it's smooth sailing from here on inJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16989466282881739783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3650282892753789624.post-90900322276900283152010-02-22T01:10:42.488-07:002010-02-22T01:10:42.488-07:00That's great about Josina's adoption!

I know that it was really just a formality but from personal experience, I know that it's such a relief once it's official!<br /><br />Yuck on the paperwork though...

I HATED that paperwork, we've done it twice already, and we STILL don't have a baby :( -We first started the adoption process back in Dec.2006, and tried adopting from States with no luck, had to update everything for Ethiopia, and now, you are making it sound like I need to do everything again--the hubby is not going to love hearing this!<br />Congrats on finalizing Josina's adoption!!!--That's happy news!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07227529798299808534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3650282892753789624.post-74609626558033691722010-02-13T08:09:04.636-07:002010-02-13T08:09:04.636-07:00Congrats on Josina's adoption being complete! ...Congrats on Josina's adoption being complete!

And trying to figure out when is "best" to get going on it all - we're in the same boat (but with a longer wait until referral). Ministry approval expires in July, so I've intentionally been putting off updates so that the next homestudy, medicals, fingerprints, etc. will last as long as possible...but don't want to wait too long.

Buh bye $350... our crim/interpol checks expire in August, as do our medicals, so we will probably have to redo those as well...unless, by some miracle there are 10 or so girls age 3-3.5 in the orphanages right now...I think we are anywhere from 6-11 in line for an older girl.<br />Don't forget when calculating your 'spot' to take into account the #'s that are missing. I forgot to do that and was all excited 'cause I thought we were 3rd in line...BCMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605130303718384216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3650282892753789624.post-87572997190509245242010-02-09T20:44:48.205-07:002010-02-09T20:44:48.205-07:00It is a wonderful feeling!
