Citizen!
We got Elise’s Certificate of Citizenship, so glad that came. She was a citizen as soon as we entered the US; this is the official piece of paper from Homeland Security. Now, we get to start the process of re-adopting her in Texas, so we can officially change her name to Elise and get a Texas birth certificate. It seems that the paperwork is never ending.
Yay! Yeah, it does seem like the paperwork is never ending.
Great! Did you get her a SSN yet or do you have to wait for the birth certificate? If not you should apply for a TIN to file your taxes early. Looking forward to our adoption credit.
