Apostilling adoption papers

I met a friend (another Russian adoptive Mom)early yesterday morning to give her all of our important documents that needed to be apostilled in OKC. She is taking them for us, what a blessing!! I emailed her this a.m. to see how it went. I was already aware that several of our documents have to be redone, however 41 of them were good! Her reply: "there were 4 people ahead of me to apostille adoption papers. The guy helping me was in shock. He had never seen so many documents come in to be apostilled at the same time. That was why they couldn't be done that day. Someone was out sick and they had a rush on getting kids adopted. He was very nice and apologized several times. He even thought they might be able to squeeze them in until he heard that we had so many. The other 4 people combined didn't have as many docs as you and me." An apostille is a special seal to prove that our state checked and made certain that all the notarization is accurate and the notaries current.
