More Dossier Prep Completed

Mr Messy is working from home today, as Drama Teen has a Speech Therapy appointment that clashes with Little Prince finishing school. I took the opportunity to drag him to the photographic shop in town to get new Passport Photos done for our Ethiopian dossier. So that's another item ticked off my list :-) And our letter from the bank arrived this morning, so that's yet another item ticked off :-)

While we were there Mr Messy saw a digital photograph frame on offer, and he is currently fiddling with it so that it picks up our photos via Wifi!! Clever huh?! I also finally managed to find a shop selling the photo album sleeves with pockets that I want to use for our "photos showing family life" photos for our Ethiopian dossier. Now all I need to do is get a picture of me and Mr Messy together, that I approve of (that's the difficult bit!!) and a picture of Drama Teen playing her guitar. I already have a picture of Little Prince with Mickey Mouse and a picture of LMS showing off her Fencing Medal and even a photo of all five of us together (a very rare picture!!).

I think that once I've got the prints of the "family life" photos then I have almost finished collecting the documents I can do. I'm still waiting to hear back from Admin Lady at our LA about two letters they have to supply (on top of the homestudy etc), but I don't think she will get back to me until she has got the letter from the Agency Decision Maker (hopefully confirming Panel's recommendation that we are approved to adopt from Ethiopia!). Once she's let me know she's got that letter then I'll be pestering for the rest of the stuff I need from her!! I want to get it all off to the Notary as soon as possible to get the ball rolling!! Impatient or what lol?!?!
