March 1st will mark the one year mark we started down the paperwork road. As a result, some of our documents are expiring and have to be updated. Items like, Letter of Legal Residence, Marriage Certificates, Power of Attorney, Letter of Employment and, notarized copies of passport photos. It is odd to think that our marriage certificates are expiring! Yesterday and today we spent the afternoon getting copies of everything and making a trip to visit a notary. Now we have to take the documents to the Secretary of State's office and get them appostilled before we mail them to our agency. Hopefully this will be the last major update before we get to go to court. It is not that big of a deal, but it can be a little stressful.
Our next project is to find a psychiatrist that will complete an evaluation for us. Our region is one of a couple that require this. Unfortunately, in our neck of the woods, you can't find anybody that can give you a referral to see one. Then, sometime in late February or early March we have to update our medicals (physicals). Medicals are only good for 90 days so we do not want to do these too early - but at the same time we need to be prepared.
That's all for now. And for your information, as of 9AM it is -13 degrees Fahrenheit in Ussariysk.

Hi there! Just wanted to drop a quick note about the psychiatrist/psychologist. Do you know anyone who knows anyone that may be a psych doctor? The reason I asked this, is because when we were needing our psych eval, I ended up asking around at work & a co-worker went to church with a psychologist. And as it turned out, psychologist did our eval as a gift to us. We met with him, he wrote up the eval on letterhead, and it went well!
I'm not sure if you know anyone who may have a friend like that - but it might be worth a shot!!
Tony and Dawn,
I just saw that you are trying to adopt three children from Ussuriysk. We are also trying to adopt three boys from Ussuriysk. I'd love to talk to you about your trip. Please e-mail me at stenfamily@comcast.net.
