We were so very close to having all of this paperwork done. We received the Apostille for the FBI fingerprints a week or so ago and I noticed something a little odd. There was a section for a seal or stamp but there wasn't anything there, though it was signed. I kind of let it go thinking it can't really be wrong but I couldn't shake the feeling it just wasn't right. Yesterday, while talking with a friend and fellow adopting chick I asked about her form and she said theirs had a seal on them. Figures. I tried calling the phone number on the apostille letterhead but the office was closed due to Veterans day. I was really disappointed but since there wasn't anything I could do about it, I tried to put it out of my mind. Thinking the worst, I assumed I would probably have to resend everything back to WV to get redone which would set us back at least another week.
The good news is that when I called this morning the woman I spoke with was so very kind and apologetic. She is going to send me the stickers to add to our apostilles which means we should have them in a few days! Praise God!
We are waiting on one more piece of paperwork from our social worker and then off it all goes! So, we are still very close, just not as close as I thought... but still close. :)

WOW, what an experience. What is the next step after the apostille, is sent?
It must be so frustrating to keep running into snags along the way. Hopefully you'll forget all the problems you've run into once you have your little boy in your arms!!
So close is right; I am glad the required sticker will be mailed to you. This must have been a mistake on their part that’s why the woman was so apologetic.
Have you chosen a name for your little boy?
Andrea & Mrs. Salty. I'll be answering each of your questions in my next post so stay tuned! :)
