Bumps in the Road

I have sad this many times--it is hard work helping people. The efforts to get Tison to the U.S. are moving forward. We did run into a "bump in the road". We need to have the "power of attorney" documents signed and notarized by an Indonesian Notary. We had the POA translated into Indonesian and also in English. Tison and his family went to Ternate to have the documents signed They could not find a Notary who could read English.

It looks like the best option is to go to another city and find a Notary who can read English and notarize the documents. It gets complicated sometimes. The process to get Tison to Alaska for the surgeries is full of plenty of "bumps in the road".

Tison's parents will travel to Jakarta to meet with officials at the U.S. Embassy. We want to make sure every document is in order. When Tison is awarded the visa to come to the U.S. he will have passed a number of bumps in that road. It takes a lot of effort and costs to just get him to the place where he can get the help being offered to him.
