Not really officially waiting yet...

I e-mailed Lina to confirm that everything was received and to confirm that we were officially waiting. I was surprised to find out that it takes about 2 months for "translation & authentication", then we are placed on the waiting list.

Also, while Lina did send our paperwork to Poland, she requested we do 2 things. Our au pairs' medical form was missing a few boxes that were not filled in and she sent it back to us. And my children's medical forms were the DCFS forms that the doctor's office always uses, but Lina wanted them on the St. Mary's form. I was kind of kicking myself for that one, but the form asked so many adult questions, it just seemed odd to use it for small children. So Both sets of doctors are filling out new forms and then I will have to get them apostilled again and then they will join our other paperwork in Poland.

  1. Slowly, but surely the paperwork will be totally complete! It was a very strange feeling to finally be finished with that step. Hopefully your wait will not be too long!

  2. It seems like there is always something, but at least they should start being able to translate before they get the needed paperwork. good luck.

  3. Wow, that is frustrating. I didn't realize it would be 2 more months before we are waiting after our paperwork is sent in.

  4. I call Lina too, but unfortunately she never has anything concrete for us! I guess this is how it goes. We sent everything to Poland in August. We are hoping for our referral soon. The waiting is by far the most difficult step in the process.
