The last piece of the puzzle for Ansley's adoption was her Certificate of Citizenship. We applied in late July (right before the price increase) for her CoC. We received word that they did get our application and it could take up to 1 year to process. I was told some folks actually had to go to their Homeland Security Department and appear in person to receive the certificate. Imagine my surprise when the mail person asked me to sign for a package today from USCIS (Division of Homeland Security). Inside this package was the most beautiful piece of paper stating our little girl was now (and forever more) a citizen of the United States of America!
So we are through. No more adoption paperwork. Although, they tell me we need to check with Social Security to make sure her status is listed as 'citizen' and not 'permanent resident'. In other words, maybe I'm not quite through after all. But, I'm close!!!!!!
