Sealing our documents

We are starting the process of sealing our documents. This is required to send them to China. Basically, it is the process of proving our documents are legit! 

Sealing documents is a four step process. 

1. We have to have everything notarized. 2. Then we have to take it to the county clerks office and have her verify all our notaries are accurate and from Chatham County

3. Next, we mail it all to the Secretary of State, who also verifies all of our notaries are accurate. 

4. From there we send it via  courier to the Chinese Consulate in Houston Texas. 

After all those people verify our documents are correct, then they are ready to go to China!!

In the meantime, we got our receipt for

 I-800 A. I thought we were closer to complete that process than we were for a while. However, the Receipt means, within the next week we should be able to travel to Charleston for fingerprinting! That means the process to complete our last document will be underway! When that comes back from The Dept. of Homeland Security we can mail ALL of it: AKA Dossier  to China!!

After the documents go to China. . . we wait, BUT then we get matched with our daughter!! How awesome is that! I feel like we are waiting for our 20 week ultrasound!!

Please pray that all goes smoothly with the paperwork! Thank you! We love you all!
