Faithfully Forming our Family: Update

6/24/10

Update

Just wanted to let everyone know that Caring Hands called us yesterday, and our documents are finished! They said that the Department of State reattached the cover sheet and they are "good as new"! We should get them back from FedEx today, and we're taking them straight to our agency. Yes...this time I made all of our copies BEFORE sending them to Washington, so we won't have another copy disaster. So, unless there's some FedEx delay, today will be the day that we formally submit our dossier!!
