And the paperwork continues.... Here's the list from our dossier coordinator:
post placement commitment- 1 original
registration commitment- 1 original
psychological evaluation- 1 newly dated letter for each parent (this region says that the letters are only good for 3 months)
1 notarized and apostilled photocopy of your doctor’s new license
1 notarized and apostilled photocopy of the psychologist’s license
The best way to ensure that you have court in January is to submit all documents ASAP. If I have the documents in my hands by December 12th, I can be sure to have them to Russia by the time your coordinator meets with the judge on 12/20. If your coordinator has all the documents on 12/20, the judge will give her a court date for you. If we do not have updated licenses, we would have to wait until after the Russian orthodox holidays to get your court date (after January 13th).The hitch. Our doctor's and psychologist's licenses expire 12/31/2007. Russia wants the new versions. We are waiting to hear from both whether they have applied and received their new licenses.
