We got a call from our adoption agency today, and it wasn’t THE call. Unfortunately, it was the other call, the one to tell us that more paperwork has been requested by Uzbekistan. It’s not that long of a list, but some of it may be tricky to get. Apparently, there is no such thing as a general physician over there. If your ear hurts, you go to the ear doctor; if your foot hurts, you go to the foot doctor. Therefore, our medical exam which was performed by our general physician was very strange to them, and so they are requesting that we get 4 specialized medical reports. Certainly, this is not what we were hoping for, but it is not at all unusual to have more paperwork requested. The Ministry of Education were rather quick in reviewing our paperwork (at least it seemed that way), as we only submitted our dossier in December, and it had to go through translation.
We’re not exactly sure how this will affect our timing. We’re going to have to find out 1) if Aber even has the various doctors we are required to see, 2) how we make appointments or get referred to these specialists, and 3) if the specialists will write a letter for us as this isn’t strictly within their duties. Perhaps it’s easier to just hop over to the US and pay a premium to get these done over there. Dan recently found £270 plane tickets from Heathrow to JFK on Kuwait Airlines…
