I put in the Across the Universe soundtrack so I could put "I've Just Seen a Face" on repeat and the opening track started. The opening line for "Girl" had me smile and burst into tears as I stared at her picture that I have propped up on our dash. It was just too perfect - I hope!
It also made me feel lucky to know that I have so many people listening to my story about the the girl who is hopefully coming to stay.
I have attached our official request for adoption so you can see how all of our documents look. Everything is dual-language for us, our documents, our meetings, our socializing! 
The second page had all the official stamps and notarized signatures. It was completely in Russian so I don't know if there was anything that should be edited out for our own safety! It has about 3 round, official, purple-inked stamps. Everyone important in Russia has these stamps. They are all over many of our documents. At the clinic I was joking with Mike over who will have the biggest circle on the page. It was like a mini bragging contest. These stamps often have the profession written across the middle and then more information around the circumference. As soon as you see one of these stamps come out you know it's serious business. 
I like that for all their Russian alphabet characters, NS is translated as HC... beautiful latin characters, just completely different.
