Finally, our dossier is on it's way to California! Today I finally got to go pick up our home study documents from the agency to a nice tune of $275. Don't even get me started on this. They have a policy that if they have to do any additional documents after the update they charge $25 a page. I should of asked for a discount since they made me wait over a week for them, but oh well.
Off to Topeka then, where I then spent another $435 on apostilles. Yikes! That one hurt. Not to mention the 8 that I had from Missouri. 64 documents in all. So then off to FedEx I go. Now I I don't hardly EVER ship anything, and usually if I do I use snail mail. So when he asked me if I wanted Morning overnight delivery or afternoon overnight delivery I figured there couldn't be THAT big of a price difference. Needless to say when he told me my total, I about had a cow, $75 to ship. My bad, next time I will choose afternoon delivery! I am just glad it is finally out of our hands and in the hands of our agency now. My stack of documents were so thick I couldn't use an envelope, I had to use a box, which upped the price a little there also!
Have a great day everyone.

Woo hoo! So glad you have that wrapped up. Now it's a waiting game, right?
ReplyDeleteOh, Denise!! Praying that your little one is in your arms very soon. Man! All the hoops and red tape! God bless you, girl! :)
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't already sign up for a FedEx account, it's free. It saves money eventually, and the shipping never stops.
