Dossier en Route

What a feeling! Months of paperwork is now en route to Ukraine! I drove to Austin today (with my dad, who also had business in Austin), went straight to the state apostilling office...10 minutes and $100 later, I was off to FedEx to send our completed dossier to our facilitator in Ukraine. The man working at FedEx had an interesting take on Ukraine. Here is the conversation:
him: So you're adopting from the Ukraine?
me: yes (thinking to myself...but's it's just "Ukraine", no "the")
him: did you know women outnumber men there by 3 to 1?
me: no. I didn't know that. Interesting.
him: I was looking at a website for mail-order brides. Ukrainian women
are gorgeous. You're going to get one gorgeous kid.

What is up with that? People actually do that mail-order bride thing? Weird!!! Anyway, it was a successful trip. I even got to meet my college roommate, Traci, for lunch at Chuys (yummmm). Tonight, I will go to bed with a weight off of my shoulders. This adoption is not only figuratively out of our hands, but now physically our of hands as well. Thank you, Lord!
