Paper Updates....
Well its been a few weeks and we are still completing paperwork to finally bring home our boys. The room is getting ready, painted and decorated and the house is being hung with pictures of the boys already. Yes, I am a little presumptuous, but so be it. I can't stop looking at their pictures, can't stop watching their videos and wondering what they are doing now. Aunt Kathlyn is already planning a shower ! Not too much to add to the blog right now other than the paperwork is coming along. My part is very close to being done, waiting for the Home study agency and the Adoption agency to contribute their part. I guess I am just quicker with paperwork...I have a reason to be. So, today is just a quick update. Accountant stuff is together, medicals are moving along. Got a real surprise today when the ABMS (American Board of Medical Specialties) told me they want $100 for each doctor's certification, and we have 8 doctors. WHAT A RACKET this is !! I told the adoption agency so they can alert future APs of this added expense. Monica Gagne from Golden Cradle came over Monday to update our home study and look at hte boys' pictures. She was so happy for us, and she is a great social worker ! What a pleasure to work with.

WHAT$100 for the Dr certificates they were free in MA!! It must be a New Jersey thing. Keep bugging your agency to get the rest of the list!! My fingers are crossed for a quick court date for you. Mattie wants to meet the sons of the police man who gave him his patch!!
I'm surprised Beth didn't need the ABMS certs --- we had to get all 9 certs re-done (requested by the *female judge*) before going to Ekat for Trip 2 since it was over 6 months from the originally issued certs from the ABMS. The only good thing is that subsequent certs from the ABMS cost $50 each.
I do have to say, our agency (AO - partner of Frank) was upfront about this cost so we knew. Plus, getting the ABMS certs was pretty much the least painful of the entire dossier paperchase. The Rep at the ABMS was so thorough and efficient ~ no crying or begging needed to expedite! Just another check...cha-ching.
Keep looking at those pics and videos...they make the paperchase tolerable. And perhaps like birth (never been there though), after the kiddos are home, this labor of pain (the p/w) will be a distant memory and you will only know joy.
Hang in there! :)
P.S. For enquiring minds...
We needed 9 ABMS certs because I had 8 doctors, of which Jon used 7 of the same and a different GP, thus 9 MDs total... ;)
