please arrive today! :)

So last week was an amazing week -- so many things fell exactly into place for us in terms of the adoption. Now we are hoping for a few things to fall into place this week, specifically, a timeline of events that would be awesome!

THE TIMELINE:

TODAY -- receive 171h (immigration approval document) -- it hasn't arrived yet, but I'm hoping to see it in the mailbox today!

TOMORROW -- Josh drives to Chicago to take the 171h to get apostilled (the golden seal from Illinois) -- he can only go on Thursday mornings because of his work schedule

FRIDAY -- the dossier (our paperwork to adopt Vlad) is mailed to Vlad's country

NEXT WEEK -- our dossier arrives in Vlad's country and is translated

FEBRUARY 10th -- we are officially submitted to the SDA (State Department of Adoptions) -- this is the first day that Vlad's country is open for submissions

This timeline all depends on the 171h arriving today -- so, if you are looking for a hidden prayer request somewhere in this post, that is it! Please pray the 171h arrives today! :)
