The paperwork begins again!

Yesterday afternoon after a mandatory 24 hour wait, we visited our Social Worker to sign our Acceptance, and name Jade Kebin Yi Bushell. It didn't take too much deciding!!
We came home with a mountain of paperwork and Alex made the trip into Melbourne today to deliver the required forms to ICAS (Intercountry Adoption Services) and to line up at DIAC (Dept of Immigration and Citizenship) to begin the process for Jades Aussie Visa.
Sadly we cannot find our original marriage certificate, and have had to apply for another. Hopefully, it will arrive by Tuesday and we can get the next lot of paperwork off.
We are still waiting to hear when we can travel, and hope to have our travel meeting with ICAS before Christmas! I need to organise leave as well as our flights, and would love to able to begin the countdown to having Jade in our arms.
