Teaching my children to question authority, except mine.

I heart Fed Ex

September25

When I prepared our Power of Attorney, I did one of those fun adoption envelope inside of an envelope inside of an envelope deals so it would be sent off to Guatemala as quickly as possible. My friend Kendra did me a huge favor and took our Power of Attorney to be certified last week at the Secretary of State. Then she sent it on to the courier who took it to the consulate for authentication. The courier emailed me to say that the consulate said it would be ready today. Because of that, I didn’t check the tracking until today to see if it had been picked up yet. And what to my wondering eyes did appear? No, not a minature sleigh and 8 tiny reindeer…better!

It’s in Guatemala City right now on the truck for delivery!

I wasn’t expecting it to arrive until Thursday or Friday! It’s in Guatemala right now and should be delivered tomorrow! Few things happen faster than you think they will in the adoption world so this was a very happy surprise. Woohoo!

EDITED TO ADD: Apparently the Fed Ex tracking site wasn’t up to date when I checked it. I just received delivery notification.  It was delivered and signed for at 2:56 today.  I shudder to think what it will cost to have 3 day delivery to Guatemala but so happy it is safely where it belongs!
