PAPERS BACK FROM HOUSTON

We received our papers back from Houston yesterday! This was my birth certificate and our marriage license. Everything was in Chinese so I have no clue as to what it says. But I am sure that it says what it is supposed to say. :-) I finally let Rusty do something, he got to take the paperwork that originated in TN and mail it to the New York State department for authentication. This included our adoption petition, both of our medical forms, our financial statement, my employment letter, both of our police clearances, and the homestudy. I had a hard time letting him do this because I felt better doing it myself. I probably told him 50 times what he had to do because it has te be done acertain way. The state department will not except us postal mail, it has to be fed ex or ups. But on the way back they will only except usps return mail. Makes no since. So Rusty did everything right in the beginning. At the ups office the guy asked Rusty if he could cut off the bottom of the paperwork so it would fit in the envelope. Thank goodness Rusty told him no because his wife would kill him! In the end they folded the bottom so that was ok. I asked Rusty about the tracking numbers so I could track the paperwork and know where it is. He got the ups numbers but he did not get the usps return mail numbers! I am trying not to stress out. We hope that the post office does not lose our paperwork. I have faith in them, I think. If we dont have the paperwork in 2 weeks I will stress. But we learned a good lesson. From now on I will handle everything! :-)
