The Last Step

I delivered the last pieces of paper to our attorney today so that we can re-adopt Ember in the United States. This means that she'll be an American citizen and have a US passport. It's also the last step of our adoption process minus a few more post-placement visits by our social worker. The attorney has a fixed fee for adoptions ($500) plus any related court filing costs and photocopies and fees for copies of birth certificates etc... and he says that it should be complete within a month or so.

Yes, yes, and yes! Well, I'm not sure about updating the timeline. At this point I'd just have to add "Waiting for re-adopt to be complete."
