DOSSIER....... SENT!!!

Well, we met another milestone today. We sent the dossier on the way to Holt International in Eugene, Oregon. A lot of folks say assembling the dossier is one of, if not the most difficult, stressful, task in the international adoption journey. We didn't think it was so bad. All together it took us about ten days. We feel confident everything is in order. The only doub't we have is the signing of tons of documents in Vietnamese, that maybe we missed one, or signed in the worng place. Fortunately Holt will review everything before sending it to the Vietnamese Embassy in San Francisco. So, I guess we'll take a deep breath and celebrate, for a moment anyway. We still have a long way to go, with many questions still unanswered. Next step, dossier approval and match with our child. We'll keep you posted. UPDATE (02/22/08) Michelle from Holt says Dossier was received and looks good! She is sending it to the embassy in San Francisco. We did miss signing one Vietnamese document. She e-mailed a copy, we signed it, and it is on it's way to Oregon as I type!
