This week I go get my fingerprints! Today I mailed off 8 documents to the State of Illinois, for authentication. I was so nervous to give up these documents, as they are the originals, but I re-read the instructions twice before I sealed the envelope and gave it to the lady at the post office. I have 3 more papers to get, hopefully that will happen this week and then they will go off for authentication also. Once they are all authenticated, off they go to Adoption Link and one more step will be accomplished!
One of the papers I am waiting to get is a pediatrician letter. I knew I wanted a pediatrician in my hometown, as I am planning to go with child care here too. I haven't had much luck with medical personnel with previous letters I needed, so I was a little apprehensive to find a pediatrician. Last Monday, I was off work, so I decided to just walk in and ask. I am so glad I did. They were great! Not only would they write it, they would also notarize it, the pediatrician asked to meet me, and the nurse practitioner met me and told me she has done mission trips to Haiti! I am a firm believer in things happen for a reason and knew when I left, that I picked the right office!
I must say that lately when my phone rings or I get an email, I wonder "Is this it?" I am very excited and can't wait to see who the little person is that will make me the luckiest mom in the world! Stay tuned!
