My birth certificate arrived in PA, was apostilled, and sent straight to my agency, where it will arrive tomorrow morning. I'm so thankful I had that gut feeling at the last minute to do another online search for an express apostille place. The one I had found and contacted would have taken two to three business days and was almost double the price.
Our paperwork may just start making it's way to Colombia tomorrow, but I have a hunch it won't make it out until Monday. Still waiting to hear on the grant $, but we've found a way to work around it for the time being.
I got a very surprising phone call this morning from our immigration officer. Remember that extension that she said she absolutely would not give us for Julian? She called today to tell me that we now have another 45 days. Guess there's still a chance out there for him.
What a ride.
Just for the record, my agency has been nothing but wonderful to work with this time around. I'm so grateful we listened to the recommendation to go with them again.
About Me
- Rachelle D Alspaugh
- I've been married to my husband, Michael, for almost 25 years. I'm a mom to a biological son and an adopted son from Colombia, and I'm also a spiritual mom to my adopted son's older brother, who I claim as a son in my heart. I'm bilingual and love to work with and relate to Spanish-speaking children and families. I've been a teacher to students from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures for the last 20+ years. I'm also an author and a certified Biblical counselor. I'm in a new empty nest season in a new location far from where I raised my boys, so I'm definitely in a stage of rediscovering myself, my interests, and my purpose.
