Today was my second day of maternity leave and I am so happy to be home to take care of all of the last minute details. We had our "what to expect" phone call with our adoption agency today and we feel pretty comfortable knowing to expect the unexpected. Most of the process is the same as the last time. We have to take a total of 9 documents with us to complete the adoption....but honestly we doubt they will even look at them. This happened to us last time as well. Another change is that we cannot do an "immunization waiver" in the off chance that tiny A is missing any vaccinations. She will just have to have the immunization done in Colombia. That isn't anything concerning, just different from last time is all.
I know that there are "paper pregnant" families reading this, so my only piece of advice is to just roll with everything when you are in Colombia. We remember, from our last adoption, that one night they told us that we wouldn't have any paperwork for the next day and then the next day we were eating breakfast and they said "Be ready in 20 minutes to go talk to the judge." So we rushed around and got ready, then we sat for about 1 hour waiting for them to pick us up. You are told very little when it comes to the day to day processing of the paperwork. But, rest assured people are working on your file and you will receive Sentencia when you least expect it. I bet many families that have been on this journey and are reading this are nodding their head "yes!"
We have 3 more days left until we fly out and our packing and preparations are rolling smoothly. Our goal is to be ready to roll Saturday morning so we can then just relax through Sunday. Alejandra can feel it getting closer and she is beside herself with joy!
