We have started working on our dossier, which is a pile of paperwork we create and/or obtain. Each document we gather or create has to be notarized, certified, and authenticated - to certify a document we have to send it to the Secretary of State who will verify the Notary Public's name, after which we send everything to the appropriate Chinese Consulate/Embassy to verify the Secretary of State's name. Once all of our documents have been "sealed" (notarized, certified and authenticated) they will go to China for review. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but knowing that little Ying Rong is waiting, patiently, on the other end, keeps us motivated!
Praying for your intentions on this memorial of our Mother of Sorrows. -Fr. Jim
