another bump

I received a letter from my doctor on Friday that she will be quitting her practice and moving to Mayo clinic in AZ- A little too far to go for paperwork updates (like 2400 miles). I hope the documents we have (and will update just before she leaves at the end of the month) will be suffiecient. Keeping hope that our dossier wil be sent very soon.

We switched docs between our home study and dossier and thankfully the new one just looked at our labs at a regular appointment in order to fill out our letters. Hopefully you can find a doc that will do this too!

I think that will be fine, don't you? Little hurdles to keep things interesting.

Hang in there, as long as you can get the initial dr release in don't worry you will have plenty of time to get set up with a new dr while your dossier is being processed at the consulate than mfa and moe- the medical release is only good for three months so you will need a new one once you recieve your LOI, so relax and welcome to the Kaz adoption experience! http://www.katie-familymemories.blogspot.com/
