Guess what I need.
A coke? (usually) A nap? (often) An updated homestudy? (always)
Yep--it's time to update my US hs...and my medical, my FBI clearance, my employment and my local police status.
Fun, eh?
I'm just hoping thing happen quickly enough that these updates are current when we go to court.

I'm glad you stopped by! This blog chronicles my experiences living in and adopting from Russia. It was a six-year journey that doubled the size of my family. I adopted my daughter, then age 6, from Moskovskaya Oblast. Now we're back in the USA and no longer posting from Russia.

Bummer. I just found your blog and look forward to following along. We are registered in Volgograd and just waiting (for FOUR MONTHS) for the call. :)

UGH! Again?!!
Thanks for the comment. A big ((hugs)) right back at ya! :)
Ugh. I still have nightmares about time-sensitive paperwork updates...really! I don't envy you but I'm sure you'll be fine! Hang in there! Have a coke light for me, will ya. I miss those!
Oh crap! Ugh. I hate this part! Hate it. Hate it. Hate it.
Yes, that's how I feel and I'm sure you are agreeing.
So sorry Kate... boy d2b will sure be worth it! Promise!
Funny. You know what I was thinking when I read your last post? "Gee, I haven't seen a 'I need an updated hs' post in a while..." And here it is! *sigh* Hang in there, Kate! --devon
Wouldn't it be so much easier if they would tell you your submission date first, that way you can put all your effort into only one dossier?! Best of luck.
oy. it never ends, does it?
Well, I wondered if you'd have to do an update once you move. Will you be moved first, or do you need to do the HS update before the move? Is this the US HS, or Russia?
It's a drag, but you're a pro at this by now. And this will be the LAST time!
oh geez. why, why does paperwork expire.... I managed to dodge that bullet entirely on adoption #1, but I will have at least one update, maybe 2 this time. Sigh. Good luck.
That stinks! I am sure someone will be collecting fees from you for all of it.
Your new place sounds perfect and if there is a lot of noise, well then the temper tantrums will just blend in, lol.
I echo the comments Heidi made -- but it WILL be worth it - that I can promise :)
Oh how strange these things are! But this will be the last one!!!
