Express Post - My Best Friend
Today was an exciting day. I got to spend a lot of money!! *smile* Yesterday our signature papers came in the mail. Remember the homestudy was completed on Saturday and the social worker mailed us the signature papers on the Monday and it got to us on Tuesday! So we signed those and today we were to mail them off.
First, I went to the bank to get my money orders. Boy, do I get nervous there! I mean, I am at the bank and I have these two critical money orders to get written to pay for the balance of our Kidslink fee, plus the whole of the intercountry fee. Plus I had to mail the signatures in a different direction. I knew that I had papers to go with each envelope and my brain was having a little brain freeze as it was sorting through all this. It is just the excitement of the moment. It happened when I mailed off all the dossier documents in different directions last time. *smile*
Anyhow, I left the bank and headed to the post office, bought my Express Post envelopes, loaded them up and out they went.
We are doing things HYPERSPEED!! LOL! Seriously, what the majority of peope do is get their homestudy done and approved and then move on to their dossier. That can take another month to do. I was not willing to do that and since I KNEW this was a God thing and the adoption was going to go through, I just did the dossier before I even got the homestudy completed! So today we have mail heading to the agency and they will receive our signatures and then mail it onto Kidslink - in about 4 days, I am guessing.
Meanwhile, I have mailed our final cheques ($4770 + $6500) to Kidslink. They should be in Kidslink by Friday. So by Monday everything will come together - all our hard work from the last four months: Dossier, money, and Homestudy.
What was really cool was while I was at the post office (for all of ten minutes) three people I knew came in and were able to be part of the exciting moment of FINALIZING the paperwork.
