We are happy that we are in the last 10% of things left to complete our dossier. Hopefully we won't experience the phenomenon where it takes as long to do the last 10% as it did the firt 90%! I think that is just experienced by computer programmers though :-)
We hope to have a completed home study next week so we can submit our I-800a form to be approved by the US government (at least that is my understanding of what it is) to adopt an international child.
So, in addition to taking down our Christmas tree this weekend, we need to make a lot of photo copies! Also we still need to get some passport photos (even though Jerrod and I have current passports, we need a few more photos) and the boys need photos and passports. Interesting, BOTH parent have to go along to get passports for minors. I suppose it so one spouse can't take the children out of the country without the other one knowing. A good safety measure I guess, but a pain in the behind in practice.
On a funny note, I believe we will have to go to the Colombian Consulate in Chicago to get a special visa to have custody of a Colombian child while we are in Colombia. Major bummer (not), considering we LOVE Chicago. Anyway, you know what's in Chicago? An American G*rl Doll store. I told one of the boys I'd like to get a doll for our daughter and he said, please don't get that type because they creep me out (I think he mentioned they look like Chuckie and he's never even seen that movie!). What??? They seem awesome to me and all our nieces have loved them!
