Our psychologist called us back today and she had some time for me to come down to her office and basically walk her and the notary through the documents we needed. It was certainly frustrating for them because I had to be SUPER anal-retentive about every detail. Here are a few items you cannot have on the documents:
Abbreviations like St., Trl., and Dr. are unacceptable. You have to spell out "street", "trail", "drive", etc. in your street address. You also have to spell out the state name, so we have to spell out Texas in every place required.
Dates must have the month spelled out. So you have to write July 2, 2008. I think this might be due to the fact that in Europe, they write out dates differently than we do. In American, today is 07/02/08. In Europe, that would be February 2nd because the day comes first, then the month.
Once we had the new documents completed, I decided to go ahead and drive them over to the Gladney office in Fort Worth (about a 55 mile drive one way to the other side of the metroplex). I figured it would be best to hand deliver the documents to them so that they could give it a once over and make sure they were okay. If not, then I would have tomorrow to get in touch with the Doctor again to get them fixed (and I am sure she would have LOVED to hear from us again) before we hit the holiday on Friday.
Next step is for our dossier (collection of official documents) to be delivered to Russia. They will probably get there next week, and then they will have to be translated, and then they will go to court in Cheboksary. Once the court date is set, then that will trigger the dates when we travel back. Hopefully we will be traveling by early August (if not sooner).

Since you had to write everything out, consider it a blessing that you don't live in Massachusetts...
