In case anyone is wondering...we really are adopting


Hey, went to the mailbox today, and low and behold there was our BROWN ENVELOPE!!!
What a nice reminder that we really are adopting, and someone other than us actually knows this tiny tidbit of information. I have been wondering for 6 months what it looks like, and never expecting to actually get my hands on one.
I really did not expect to receive this.
It does feel good, because I actually do feel like someone else is aware that we are adopting, and it is not a figment of my imagination. WOW our dossier actually arrived!!! Yeah!

It was dated September 18, 2006 Two days before our LID.

Cool beans. I have seen a lot of folks get them. I will have to check the mailbox.

Very cool. We never got our brown envelope. Kind of makes me nervous.

LOVE the t-shirt too.

Any validation that things are really in the works is great. In IL we don't get brown envelopes. I so wish we did.

Congrats! I remember feeling relieved that my paperwork had not been lost. Then, I got two of the brown envelopes..hmmm. I guess they thought I needed some extra reassurance.
