As Marialyn put it yesterday, there's good news and bad news. The good news is that the IBESR (agency where the paperwork's been forever) is ready to sign our papers. Bad news is that before they can do so, they need to see a Pschological Evaluation on both of us. We hadn't known about this before, because it's apparently specific to people under 35.
So, if any of you have any advice about how to make that happen, CALL US! Our goal is to get the evals done, translated, notarized, apostilled (fancy stamp) and DHLed to Haiti by Friday at the latest. The hope is that as soon as they get the evals they sign the paperwork right away. Then there's a 2 week step, then there's a 4 week step. The few people we've told seem less than thrilled that there's another 6 weeks, but for us it's a nice amount of time to be able to get plane tickets, finally buy car seats, get things ready at work, etc. 6 weeks from today is December 1, so perhaps I'll be in Haiti for my birthday (Dec 2) after all!
We're trying to stay a bit realistic, knowing that Haiti timelines aren't always what they promise, but are thrilled to have some news. Finally, something to say when asked 72 times each day, "Any news about the baby?" :)
