Duel Citizen
Above: Ellie with her two brand new passports.
Well today we completed the final step in getting all of Ellie’s paperwork. In addition to getting her two passports, we also picked up her Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the USA from the US Embassy, and her permission to leave the country, from the Costa Rica government. All-in-all, a very successful day. Only 32 business days (including the day after she was born, Thanksgiving, and a visit from the Chinese president that shut down the government for a day) from her birth to her becoming an official duel citizen has to be some kind of record.
Now all that is left to do is pack and head out, we’ll be on US soil in 8 days!


Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I forwarded it to all who were praying for this process. . . A total of about 45-50 people. God answered our prayers for Miss Dual Citizen Ellie to be home for Christmas. Necy
All those passports make her look like Jason Bourne.
Atta girl Ellie. Now come on up here and let’s get a look at you!
You guys make us feel like really normal parents… it almost cures the 10,000 million weird looks we get as we pack our 2 to head your way! Congrats!
