I feel like I've done this before. An adoption Dossier, that is. I was a little disheartened to realize that pretty much nothing transfers over from the China paperwork to Russia, especially since none of the paperwork can be older than a year. So, we're pushing through it all one more time. Pages and pages of questions about every last detail of us and our family lives. Not to mention everything being Notarized and Apostilled (by the Secretary of State) I may be overly optimistic but I think it will go faster this time. US Immigration has a new policy that allows one "free" change of country - most likely because the situation with adoptions in China is causing a lot of people to look at alternatives. I am hoping this change will be quicker than our original Approval, because that was the longest part of our wait last year.
I am also thinking that maybe doing this two years in a row will make me some sort of expert so I can maybe work for an adoption agency. Except, of course, that everything in international adoption is in a constant state of change, so any knowledge I've gained so far would undoubtedly be out of date in another month or so.
But in the grand scheme of things - I know, paperwork is the easy part.
