3 continent family: Usual suspects
http://3continentfamily.blogspot.com/2007/10/usual-suspects.html
American girl Dutch boy Vietnamese baby = 3 continent family. Tuesday, October 9, 2007. We Are. Done. We are fedexing everything to our agency tomorrow! Everything with the exception of our CIS letter. I am calling them tomorrow to see what the deal is. The weight of this paper will be gone by week's end for sure :) Don't these passport photos just scream 'Happy'? October 10, 2007 at 12:13 PM. October 10, 2007 at 5:16 PM.

3 continent family: mail
http://3continentfamily.blogspot.com/2007/10/mail.html
American girl Dutch boy Vietnamese baby = 3 continent family. Wednesday, October 17, 2007. We received 2 beautiful drawings from Hans' niece and nephew to congratulate us on finishing our paperwork. His sister has been explaining to them what adoption is, but I think they are just excited about a new baby :) That's me in the doorway holding a baby bottle, Hans outside and a stork carrying a baby above us! How cute is that? They (and their little sister) are the sweetest children on the planet. Make your ...

3 continent family: Yipee!
http://3continentfamily.blogspot.com/2007/10/yipee.html
American girl Dutch boy Vietnamese baby = 3 continent family. Tuesday, October 16, 2007. I got an email from the program coordinator at our agency to confirm our docs are okay. She said that as of the 12th of October, we are officially waiting for a referral! It's early but I'm going to wake Hans up and tell him :). I guess you can relax for a little while now. Any idea how long your wait time should be? October 16, 2007 at 12:46 PM. October 16, 2007 at 1:37 PM. October 16, 2007 at 2:11 PM. Fair Trade Ar...

3 continent family: Life after paperwork
http://3continentfamily.blogspot.com/2007/10/life-after-paperwork.html
American girl Dutch boy Vietnamese baby = 3 continent family. Monday, October 15, 2007. This is the first weekend in ages that I was totally focused on my work and not obsessing on what paper needed to be organized, stamped, authenticated or shipped out. I think we are both feeling a weight off of our shoulders! The agency got our documents and everything looks good. Happy, happy! Yesterday we took a drive to Bloemendaal aan zee and walked along the beach for a few hours. It was a gorgeous day! Voices fo...

3 continent family: July 2007
http://3continentfamily.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
American girl Dutch boy Vietnamese baby = 3 continent family. Sunday, July 29, 2007. We've had a chill weekend which has been nice. I didn't get any books bound but I did get some new pendants done. Not my usual round ones, but I think these came out well! Thursday, July 26, 2007. I mailed the English translation of Hans' birth certificate to CIS in Frankfurt today. That means that our application for CIS is done. My copy of Harry Potter arrived today! Wednesday, July 25, 2007. But the good news is that ...

3 continent family: August 2007
http://3continentfamily.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
American girl Dutch boy Vietnamese baby = 3 continent family. Thursday, August 30, 2007. This is not earth shattering news, but I spoke to the nice woman Kathy at the CIS office (the one I was stalking while our papers were being collected) in Frankfurt yesterday and apparently our application is fine, they are just waiting for the results of our fingerprints. Monday, August 27, 2007. It's the start of a new week and hopefully a letter from CIS. Now it's time to add a black border around all of them.

3 continent family: Finally!
http://3continentfamily.blogspot.com/2007/10/finally.html
American girl Dutch boy Vietnamese baby = 3 continent family. Wednesday, October 10, 2007. We have our CIS letter! Hans sent everything else to our agency this morning, it should be there by Friday. The last step is getting this letter authenticated. By this time next week, every scrap of paper should be out of our hands and our dossier completed. Yay! October 10, 2007 at 5:41 PM. I'm so happy for you guys that you are about done with all your paperwork. October 10, 2007 at 6:20 PM. So happy for you both.

3 continent family: May 2007
http://3continentfamily.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
American girl Dutch boy Vietnamese baby = 3 continent family. Wednesday, May 30, 2007. We have a pulse! Today we had our health checks at our GP. She's really nice, aware of what we've been through the past few years and very excited for us. She checked us out, filled in our forms and off we went. One more thing off the list! Friday, May 25, 2007. A shout out to Mum and Daddy-O for getting my Philadelphia Child Abuse Clearance delivered to the Netherlands. We got it today! Tuesday, May 22, 2007. Somewher...

3 continent family: June 2007
http://3continentfamily.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
American girl Dutch boy Vietnamese baby = 3 continent family. Wednesday, June 20, 2007. It's all about Notarizing. We have finally figured out which documents need to be notarized and authenticated in the US and which need to be dealt with here. Another interesting thing we have learned after an enormous amount of frustration, lots of email with SW and a discussion on the phone with Agency Director: Notarizing/Authenticating in the Netherlands and the US are very different. Tuesday, June 19, 2007. The Vi...

American girl Dutch boy Vietnamese baby = 3 continent family. Friday, October 12, 2007. Thank you for the nice comments and emails about our paperwork. Every scrap is officially on it's way to our agency. And as far as CIS goes: It's hard to believe that waiting for a letter could cause so much stress! I am thankful that my amazing husband is a bit more rational than me. Here's a hint as to where my head is:. New York Jfk Airport. New York Jfk Airport. Consignment Received At Transit Point.
