~I600A Appointment~

The door to our daughters future! One of the many :)

This building was huge-not only in size, but in importance!

Looking up I realized how surreal this was. We are moving forward. We are closer to bringing Yana home. We couldn't have cameras inside, but at the hallway on the second floor, there was a huge window at the end by the cafe. I looked out the window and there was a beautiful view. I looked out that window at the sights and I could feel myself holding her. What a beautiful thought :) It was meaningful to me to see all the different nationalities in that building. It was like knowing that Yana's freedom is near. Just like those people, she will soon have the freedom to walk about (or be carried-which I REALLY DON'T MIND.) We then went to the Secretary of States office to have our documents apostilled. In my ignorance, I didn't realize that all the documents had to be certified then apostilled. Since all of Yana's documents were notarized in our city, we had to have them renotarized, then certified and then apostilled. So, we went to the law library to have them notarized-then to the Clerk of Courts office for certification and finally back to the Secretary of States office to have them apostilled. Nothing is easy...they say nothing worth fighting for is, so I guess I should expect it. Yana is so worth it. I wouldn't lie though, I wouldn't mind it being easy.
