We got our psychological evaluation completed, notarized, and stamped by the Secretary of State on Monday and Tuesday of this week. Now we're waiting (not so patiently) for it to be translated into French so that we can send it to the Haitian Consulate in Chicago for another fancy stamp. We'll overnight it there with an overnight envelope for them to send it back. When it comes back to us from Chicago we will DHL it to the lawyer in Haiti. We found last time that this can happen in less than 24 hours. The hope is that as soon as the agency has this new paper in hand they'll sign off and release our paperwork. We think that it will be about 6 weeks from that point, putting us at beginning to mid December.
The phrase "Hurry up and wait," seems to describe this situation perfectly. We seem to do a lot of rushing around to get things ready, stamped, mailed, etc. and then we have to put it in someone else's hands and wait. I'm never sure which is more painful, when it is in our hands and the pressure is on, or when it's out of our hands and we have no clue what's happening.
We have a friend who's about a month ahead of us in the process, who's going to have his two boys come home to him soon. I think it will feel wonderful for us when that happens-proof that the system does, indeed, work!
Keep watching for new details!
