Closer. . .

We're quite close to being done with paperwork. We just need the department of immigration to mail us an approval form (171-H) and get our life insurance finalized and we'll be set to have everything notarized, certified, and authenticated. So, pray that these two last pieces come quickly, as they are out of our control as far as speed goes. The 171-H takes anywhere from 2 weeks to two months to get delivered. We'd like the former.

Hi- I stumbled on to your blog. We are also adopting from Ethiopia! Congrats on being so close to the next stage.

May I offer up a suggestion? While you are waiting for your I171H, get all your paperwork authenticated. If there is an error and the SOS requests a correction you will be able to work on that while the I171H is being processed. candy

Hi Candy,

Thanks for the tip. We have to get out I171-H notarized and authenticated as well (with a copy of original statement), but this is helpful. We've also got to get our life insurance proof notarized and authenticated. We either have to drive up to Indy or send it in the mail, so I was going to do them all at once.

Best of luck on your adoption. How close are you?
