Good thing Michael and I are used to doing everything we do in life the difficult way. Well, our dossier is now having to be redone due to a notary stamp expiring too soon from our social worker. She is now having to go back and re-do all of the papers. The sad part about it is it is delaying this process about a month, plus we have to go back down to Olympia and have everything re-apostilled. Ugh! Another hundred dollars, half a day off work and more driving.
Like I said, at least we are used to it, however an abnormal amount of patience is required. :)

Hi Michael and HunterAnn,
The exact same thing happened to us! There are so many frustrating stumbling blocks when you are in the paperwork stage ... but don't worry it is worth it!
We joined FRUA (Families for Russian and Ukraninan Adoption). Although, our adoption happened so fast, we didn't actually have time to make use of their support groups. We are in touch with 5 couples who adopted from Vlad. We all love to share our experiences. I wish I could give you our email but I don't like to put it on the blog as it is open to the public. Perhaps you could email jamieh@wacap.org and she could forward the email to us (I know she won't mind as her email is listed on their website). Good luck with your adoption, and hope to chat with you soon.
