We had a long phone call this morning with the woman who is in charge of travel arrangements at our adoption agency.
Lots, and lots, but yes lots of teeny nit-picky details. The important highlights were:
- We may wind up traveling any day of the week, not only on a Sunday as was previously stated. (They used to be able to nudge the Embassy into having our appointments only on Tuesdays.)
- Average time right now from PGN-Out to Pink is 4-6 weeks, depending on city of birth. The city we’re dealing with tends to be on the fast end. For you calendar watchers, the four weeks will be up this Friday! I was told to take my cell phone with me any time I leave the house from now on - the Pink could come any day.
- Generally we will travel less than a week after Pink, not the 1-2 weeks they were seeing over the summer (Embassy slowed down, now is back to speed).
So… we were told to prepare everything (copies of passports, tax and Embassy forms, money in specific denominations to cover Embassy fees, exit tax, transportation costs, gift for the Foster Mother, etc.) ASAP.
Wheeeeeeeee!
