The latest update...

So in case your trying to keep up with all that is happening, this is the latest update. PRAISE THE LORD!!! We are so relieved to say that the licensing agency has finally written the letter needed for the court! After over 3 stressful months, we will soon have it in our hands!!! Now all we have to do is find a way to get it apostilled in Sacramento and we will be done with that doc at least! We have an amazing story about the health insurance letters. Last week we were told that what we submitted to the court for health insurance was no longer acceptable. So we went down to the main Kaiser Permanente office and pleaded with them to write us the letters that we needed. The first lady that we talked to was only about 50% sure that she could get us what we needed, and that if it all worked out it would take at least a week to get them back. At that point we said we would take whatever we could get. Just then, her supervisor came up to the front desk. We told him what we were needing from Kaiser and he amazingly said that he personally would take care of it right away and call us as soon as it was done. The next day we received a phone call from him saying the letters were written and could come down anytime to pick them up! We then called to set up a time that our mobile notary could meet us at his office to have everything signed. The story gets better. This is what I truly can't believe. He not only personally wrote the letters for us, but said that he would meet us at Postal Annex on his lunch break to get them notarized! This wonderful man went totally out of his way to help us get what we needed for court. Amazing! So that brings us to our homeowner's insurance. It wouldn't seem like this would be difficult to get right? As with all things adoption, this too is just par for the course. 3 weeks ago we asked our agent to send us a copy of our home owners insurance policy. He assured us that we would have it by the end of the week. The week came and went. We called several times to request it again only to be told that it was sent. Nothing ever came in the mail except for a new quote for car insurance. We come to find out that he basically forgot to request it. He then told us that he would request it but informed us that his office could not send it to us, but that he would have to contact the main office in LA and request it. He said they should have it in the mail on Wednesday and that we should receive it no later than Friday. The weekend came and went - no letter. So Jeremy called him back up today. The agent told us that it could take up to a week for the request to be made. So that is where we stand with that. Needless to say after this adoption is over we will be shopping around for a new homeowners insurance company. If he can't give us a simple copy of our existing policy, what would he do if we had to a file a claim? All in all, I think things are coming together. We could possibly be done paperchasing by the end of the week. Please keep us in your prayers as we are not only are dealing with all of this adoption stress, but we've had a week and a house full of sore throats, snotty noses, 104 degree fevers and pink-eye. Please pray for healing in our household.

New Update: We recieved the homeowner's insurance policy today!! We should be getting everything apostilled tomorow and on then it's on to Russia!
