Correction - 1 down 3 to go

Jeremy went down to San Diego today to have our documents apostilled. The people over the counter informed him that the certified copy of original signed by myself and our notary, could not be apostilled. Apparently the wording on the document was no longer valid. This means that we have to go back to the children's doctor's office for the 4th time and have the document signed all over again. This wouldn't normally be much of a problem if we were dealing with understanding people in the doctor's office. They are frustrated with us for asking them to sign all of this paperwork because as they say, "we deal with sick children, and childhood emergencies". Nobody wants to go out of their way to take 5 minutes and sign some documents for our adoption. I guess they don't view a little boy stuck in an orphanage for the first 2 years of his life being undernourished and neglected "sick" or a "childhood emergency". Needless to say, Jeremy and I will be battling it out for who gets to be the one to go back to the office. Either way, we know that we are Mikhail's voice and we will march back in there and plead with them to sign it one more time. This time with the correct wording.
