Immigration Approval Received!!

This past weekend we were camping at Mohican.  Saturday morning we received a message from the campground office that we had received some important mail at home.  We borrowed a cell phone that had service and got the news from Jeff's mom that we had received our long awaited I-797 approval (to be able to adopt a child from the Peoples Republic of China).  It was the last document we needed to gather before it all gets sealed and sent off to China!!

The paper chase isn't over yet, but should be soon!  We came back a little early from camping so Jeff and I could go get all our documents notarized and certified.  It was a blessing that Jeff had the day off.  We started off in Cuyahoga Falls with the notary and then to Akron.  It was there that we noticed our homestudy was actually signed in Cuyhoga County (Cleveland).  No problem - we headed there for one more certification.  When we got to Cleveland, we found out that even though it was signed in Cuyahoga County, it was signed by a notary from Lorain County.  Off to Elyria!  I am happy to report that we are completely certified at (ALL) the county levels!!  Columbus here we come!!
