Our re-sent notarized addendum to our homestudy showed up in the mail today so we were finally able to mail off all of our paperwork to the state capital to be apostilled! Whoo hoo! Original ones still haven't made it. Only option for mailing our paperwork was USPS since it's a PO Box. Given the amount of our mail that they have lost in the past 6 months, I am very nervous about having them in control of our precious, hard-earned documents. I sent it certified express with a tracking number, just to be on the safe side. I also included a return certified FedEx envelope for it to be sent back to our home address. Also, my husband got his approval letter today from USCIS to adopt. I'm sure that mine will be in the mail tomorrow, as everything from Homeland Security has been going to him first, and me the next day. Odd, but that's been the pattern. This means that when our papers have been apostilled and returned to us, we will have everything we need for our dossier and we can mail it off to our placing agency! So excited!
***edit: Turns out that USCIS only sends out one letter (apparently addressed to the mail head oh household...GRRR...so we are actually both approved to adopt!***
Great news indeed! Congratulations, your hardwork and persistence paid off. You're an inspiration to those who follow behind you.
