Dossier is ready to send

Did you ever wonder what 6 copies of our Dossier would look like? Well here you go.

 

 

 

Six copies of the Dossier

We made some progress these last few weeks. We completed all the Dossier documents and then sent a sub-set of them off to France to be translated into French. The total pages that were translated ended up being 53. That is a lot of darn French.

Along with all the original documents we also needed to create 6 copies. So, we worked today (10/23) to create the big pile that you see above in the post.

I also updated our progress chart. On Monday (10/24) the Dossier and 5 of the copies will go off to the National office for our agency. They will look things over and then send some of the documents to the Haitian Consulate in Chicago to be legalized. From there, the full packet is shipped off to the Orphanage and we start the process in Haiti.

Making Progress

As you can see we are almost complete with the USA portion of the process. This is exciting and scary at the same time. We've experienced a few bumps along the way in terms of getting the Dossier documents together and "official". However, now, it all gets turned over the Orphanage and the Haitian government. The unknown and inability to control any of it is the scary part. Yes, we had bumps with the documents, but we could control how they were put together. That sort of control is going to go away. Prayers for patience are always welcome, and I imagine, needed.

The next big milestone is referral. That is when this will begin to feel real and tangible.
