Dossier sent, Gertrude Cleared!

Finally, action is happening! There was an orphancourt session on Tuesday, Oct. 3, to clear Gertrude for international adoption. According to our attorney it was "positive" and she should receive written documentation by the end of this week. We sent our dossier in Tuesday, Oct. 3, same day as her clearance. Everything was ready to go by Friday, Sept. 29, except the Department of Family and Children's Services had never run their check on us even though they had our consent for almost 2 months. We had to wait, and call, and fax, to get them to finally do it, and it was faxed to our home study agency Tuesday morning. I picked it up, got everything apostilled, went home, and sent it out. What a relief to have that gone (although I am nervous about it until I hear the attorney has it in hand!)

The dossier will take about 2 weeks to translate. Now we just have to wait, and soon we will hear of a court date. Hopefully we will hear tomorrow that the dossier has arrived.
