The Paper Chase is underway.
Tonight we read our policy documents, figured out the documents we need (namely, proof our insurance will cover adopted children, our marriage certificate, and info on our life insurance). We also ordered our birth certificates (no clue where the originals are--mom/dad, did you ever give me this or is it sitting in your safe deposit box?) and started writing our autobiographies. Um...yeah...I think mine is going to be 6 pages and Ababa's is going to be 3 pages. Hopefully they will average out:-)
We also need to submit the documents to get the $5k that is still sitting in escrow from when we bought the co-op (this is the money we are using for the first phase of the adoption process). Of course they can't just give it to us (even though it was supposed to be released last February)...we have to re-do all of our financial documents that were submitted in the co-op board package and then submit it to our building's managing company (who made the closing one of the most miserable experiences of my life) and then wait for the co-op board to approve it. Fortunately, they have a meeting in early October, so hopefully this won't get delayed.
The big exciting news is that we virtually "met" our adoption placement coordinator today and she seems great!
A mom, a dad, an amazing little boy who was born in Ethiopia, and a miracle pregnancy...our adventures becoming a family.
