Submitted

Every quarter the DAP (adoption people) in our little boy's country shuts down and does not accept any new adoption family files during that time.  The DAP issues travel dates for families. All of our paper work was in country except our USCIS approval. It was on its way to us, but we didn't know if it would get here in enough time for us to get it to our little boy's country before the shut down.  It came Monday! I hurried and got it notarized, apostille,d and sent it off. It needed to be in country one week before the shut down for us to have a chance at being submitted. Our document reached Ukraine the end of yesterday, and today we received the news that we had been submitted! I wasn't expecting it to be that fast. So many little miracles. Now we wait for travel dates. This usually happens in 4-5 weeks but, things have changed over there, and we are not really sure how this new change will affect travel dates. We are getting so close!
