What are the most common mistakes that families adopting from Nepal make when compiling their dossier?
The most common (and quite time consuming) mistake that adoptive families make when compiling their dossier is with the required notary seals. Often, families use notaries with expired (or close to expiring) commissions. Another common problem is that the notary is required to sign his or her name exactly the same way it appears on the notary stamp, and often they do not. Lastly, notaries often neglect to write or type the jurat statement that must state the following: “Signed and sworn to before me in _ County, _ (State) on __(date).” In the dossier instructions that families receive from AAI, there is a page entitled INSTRUCTIONS FOR NOTARIZATION OF DOCUMENTS. Families should take this with them each time they are getting a document notarized. If the notarization is done incorrectly, the document must be redone, and this is frustrating and time consuming.
