As far as I know they are not mailing us the originals w/wet signatures. If you wouldn't mind printing them directly, that would probably be the best thing to do. As you can see, it's taken them almost six months to get me scanned copies of the documents. I had actually forgotten that I was waiting on them. Thank you. Ingrid C.
