After we got our form last Tuesday, we were on a mission to get our dossier done! Jason took our last couple forms to be notarized to our wonderful neighbor's house Wednesday morning at 7:00 am! Caroline & I dropped Madelyn off at school and then took off. We went to the Fayette Co. clerks office and had everything county certified. Then we went to Frankfort to the capitol to have everything state certified. We then had to run by the Franklin Co. clerk's office to have a couple things certified there and then to the vital statistics office. There, I was told the wait was one hour so we had to come back to Lexington and get Madelyn from school. We then went straight back to Frankfort, picked up our form at vital statistics and then headed back to the capitol to finish up things there. Whew! It was a very long but very productive day. Our dossier was sent to D.C. on Friday. It has to be authenticated and then we can send it to China! Because of the holiday tomorrow, it might be next week before we get it sent, but we are almost there. After that, it is completely out of our hands and lies in the hands of China.
Please pray for things to continue to move quickly and smoothly for us. Chinese new year is in February so that will probably set us back some because we have heard they close down for like a month. Why don't we have any holidays like that??? Also, please pray for our financial situation. Things have progressed so quickly that we are not prepared for all the fees due. We thought it would take longer but we are happy things are moving along. We know God will provide for our needs but ask for prayers for this.
We love you Silas and cannot wait for you to be in our arms. God planned for us to be your family before time began and we cannot wait to have you home.

oh my goodness! things ARE moving fast for you! Praise God!!! can't wait to see that precious little boy in your arms!
Oh, I wish you would have called my mom or my sister to pick Madelyn up so you wouldn't have had to come back from Frankfort to pick her up! In the future, either of them would be MORE than happy to pick her up!! I'll email you both of their numbers for future reference just in case. I'm so glad to hear things are still progressing. Like you, I think I could get used to a month-long holiday!
Have you guys applied for a grant from Shaohannah's Hope?

That might help, and since he's special needs and you are looking at additional medical expenses it might give you some priority...
