We've sent off our dossier, which is basically a bunch of documents officially stating our intention to adopt Sam. And I do mean "Official." We had it all notarized, then had the US government certify that the notary is actually a notary, then had the Chicago office of the Taiwain government certify that it had been certified, and then sent it off to Seattle to have it all translated into Mandarin, and then on to Taiwan. Then we wired a truly scary amount of money to a distant account.
Wish us luck.
On a brighter note, we hope to receive more pictures and whatnot this week. Keep your fingers crossed!
Welcome to Peter & Annie Barsch's adoption blog! We post pictures, videos, and news about Samuel and Nathaniel. Feel free to comment. Enjoy!
Adoption Poem
Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone, but still miraculously my own.
Never forget for a single minute, you didn't grow under my heart, but in it.
