I picked up our plane tickets today. We are so glad to have those in hand. Now we really have our flights confirmed! It is beginning to seem more real everyday. Now that we are only a week away, we have all been saying thigs like "This is the last time we will ____ before Hannah comes home." or "Only one more ____ before we get Hannah." I think the whole family is READY!
The van was not ready today, so we will be getting that back tomorrow. At this point, waiting another day is no big deal, although it would have been nice to have it back by now. Praise God that we will have it back in time to make the trip to the airport.
Finally, we have been talking to some adoption attorneys in Oklahoma to find someone to handle Hannah's readoption. Readoption is adopting Hannah again in an Oklahoma court. This gives her a US birth certificate and makes her adoption recognizable in all 50 states. States have a choice as to whether or not they recognize foreign adoptions. While Oklahoma does, our nomadic lifestyle is better suited to covering all the bases with all the states! I thought this part would be easy, but most attorneys will not touch it with a 10-foot pole. I guess we have cooties or something. Every time I called, the attorney referred me to someone else! No kidding! If anyone knows of an adoption attorney willing to handle a case for a military member stationed overseas, adopting internationally, residents of Oklahoma, but not living in Oklahoma, just leave a comment.
Or, leave a comment anyways, whichever works for you :o)~
