Hey, Jim, I know what we are going to do today...(well, tomorrow)

Big plans......
We were successful in finding a psychiatrist to do an evaluation and sign our final piece of paper for our adoption. Jim and I have both been calling every lead we could find, and yesterday, one finally paid off. A very helpful young woman checked with the docs in the group where she works, and today called me back to say "yes, we can do this!".

So, tomorrow, Jim gets to go in early to do his MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory), a 485 yes/no/true/false questionnaire. Then he comes home to work, and I will go in around noon to to my MMPI. About 2pm (they said they will each take up to 2+ hours!) the psychiatrist will meet with me for 30-60 minutes, then he will meet with Jim for 30-60 minutes, then he will meet with both of us together. We are hoping for the shorter time on all of these estimates. At the end of this day long drill, we will be considerably monetarily poorer, but hopefully in possession of the final psychiatric clearance needed for our country.

Then off to notarize, certified (in Ohio, notarizations are certified first at the county level) and apostilled. Then we can mail this paper pregnancy across the pond and be that much closer to having our little boys home!
