Papers everywhere

Paperwork for international adoption is so overwhelming. We've had to get information to send from KS, MO, NE, FL, & OH. It all has to be notarized, certified by the Secretary of State and then sent to the consulate. Right now most of our paperwork is in Chicago at the consulate and some is in Washington, DC. I'm praying none of it gets lost and FedEx can get it all back to me. Then I'll send it to our agency and then on to China. I'm just waiting on the KC immigration office to get me that last piece I need. I thought it would come today, but maybe tomorrow.... Then the wait begins for final approval.
