I have added this type of service at the request of many adoptive families who want to compile their own dossiers but would like just a bit of help and advice during the process. Here's how it works....

I will consult with you about your specific needs (20 minutes free initial consultation via telephone or e-mail).

Then, for my fee, I will provide you with the names, addresses, telephone numbers, websites, fee structures and exactly how to complete each step in the process, so that you can complete the state certification/apostille and country authentication for yourself.

I will also provide general information on the homestudy, USCIS and notarization processes as well as on content of documents.

In addition, I will be available for up to one hour of counseling via telephone or e-mail during your "paperchase".

That means you get almost 1 1/2 hours of consultation and all the contact information to complete the "labor of paper" yourself.

My fee for this service is $200.00.

Please contact me by phone, 650/465-0137 or e-mail, jill@papermidwife.com
