On Monday, I received my dossier completely authenticated and ready for China! How exciting to be soo close to sending this all to China. Everything is so stressful in this paperwork process and so I have to tell me funny story. I made copies of everything in the dossier and headed to the fedex drop just minutes before the last pick up of the day. And of course, they were out of the plastic protector for the airbill. Luckily, the fedex guy pulled up as I was standing there. I asked him if he had more in his truck and he said he did. I expected he would go get them right? No, he took my airbill, marked on it and laid it on top of my package containing all my life papers and a month of sweat and tears and checks. Then He continued to open the fedex box to pull out all the other packages!! What! This guy is lucky he is still alive! I just stood there in panic mood...what if he loses the airbill, there is no way to know who the package belongs to! It could fall off, blow away, or he could just forget to do it!! I finally spoke up and kindly explained that this package was for an adoption and my life was in there and it could not get lost!! He responded with a smile and said that he will take care of it! I mean seriously guy, your lucky I didn't grab you by the collar and march you to your truck so I could see you affix my airbill!! So I trusted him; I told myself that many of these packages are very important documents and he'll do his job. I went back to my van and drove off. Of course, I woke up at 3 AM worrying about my package and mad at myself for not demanding that I see him affix my airbill. Finally at 3:30 AM I remembered I could look up the track number...it was there and half way across the US on it's way to my agency! Thank you fedex guy for doing your job, I am truly grateful and really didn't want to have to hunt you down:) And Thank you Jesus for watching over this whole process!
