One Step at aTime

Yes--it seems like getting Tison to the U.S. is just a small step at a time. Tison's parents were able to find a Notary who would sign the "power of attorney". The problem that was confronted was to find a Notary who could sign an English document (POA). The Indonesian Notary would not notarize a document that they did not understand. We had the original document translated into Indonesian and we had a translator on site to assist the Notary and instruct Tison's family.

This is just another step closer to the goal of getting Tison to Fairbanks. It is a stretch for us in the west to see the delays and steps that have to be taken to get these documents signed and the process moving forward. We just have to be patient with the progress and thankful that it is going in the right direction.
