A Little Movement

I emailed my agency this past weekend just to see where things are at.  My dossier arrived in the country almost three weeks ago and now it is at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the capital.  I am not sure what has to happen at the Min of FA especially since it was already at the Min of FA in Ottawa.  It should be almost done at this office, I think but who knows.  I am assuming that the dossier has not been translated yet.  Information seems to be harder to get now that the dossier has left Canada.  Here is the list again for a recap.

                 Notarization - 1 week - COMPLETED

                 Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ottawa - 1-2 weeks - COMPLETED
                 Consulate of Child's Country - 1 week - COMPLETED
                 Courier to Child's Country - COMPLETED
                 Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Child's Country - UNDERWAY
                 Translation of Dossier - 1-2 weeks
                 Other courier time - 1 week
                 Total- 8 to 10 weeks

I am now at week 9.  I am hoping that the Ministry completes their work this week and translation will begin.  It would be great if it was registered at the adoption ministry in the country next week.  But I think that is wishful thinking.
