I set aside the morning to finish the last form for Sophie's adoption. I know we have been home almost two and a half years but these things take time! The G884 will be the last form we have to fill out. I have it all ready to send out in the morning as soon as it gets notarized.
What is the G884? This is the request for return of original documents form. When we received Sophie's visa to travel while in Guatemala we were also given a rather large envelope. This was about 1/4 inch thick and letter size. The envelope was sealed and stamped. We were told to take this envelope to customs upon entering the US with Sophie-but we could not for any reason open it!
At the time I was so curious as to what could be in there. It was weird getting on an airplane with this envelope and not being able to open it or have any idea what could be inside. Just sitting on a plane staring at it and thinking of ways to open it without getting caught! They had a wax seal stamp over it so I wasn't taking any chances. We handed it over in Atlanta before coming home to Indy and guess what-I didn't give it much thought until recently! I was too excited at that point to get home with Sophie.
I have since found out on the post adopt forums that mysterious envelope contains so much information that we were never given! More photos of the child with the birthmother and more medical information. I have read it can take up to a year until that envelope is returned to us-but when it is it will be wonderful!
