We finished our dossier and it is in Russia as I type this!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!! Currently it is being translated into,well Russian. What else?
It left the US about 2 1/2 weeks ago!
A dossier by definition: a file containing detailed records on a particular person or subject.
Our dossier was complied so that Russian officials can understand who we are as a family. It is compiled of around thirty documents and then many, many copies of those documents.
Documents like our:
marriage license
financial statements
home study
our agency license and supporting documents,including their recommendation
copy of the deed to or house(yes you read that correctly)
and so many,many more!!!!
All of those documents had to be apostilled. When documents are apostilled this means they have been authenticated. Essentially it is a seal placed on the papers saying they are originals and we are the ones who signed them. We made MANY trips to the Secretary of State getting all of the documents apostilled.
So once everything was completed we had two sets of originals and one set of copies. The total weight was 5.1 pounds!! Wow!!!!!!
·
Yes...we put them on our scales for an official weigh in.
Picture of Scott holding all of the documents...the stress of it all has made his hair crazy!!!!
