It's Official!!! We have another U.S. Citizen!!! We received Luke's Certificate of Citizenship yesterday in the mail. Being that today was the 4th of July we thought what an apropos time to receive his COC and Luke has been in the United States of America for one month :) We had Luke open up his COC and helped him take it out of the envelope and read it to him and of course the Presidential Letter that came along with his COC. He didn't seem to phased by the whole thing, however he did clap when I was done reading his Presidential Letter to him . We told him that we already knew that he was a U.S. Citizen but that this piece of paper proves it now :) This is just the formality.
Luke's COC in the mail is new to us b/c we don't have a COC for Ryan. The reason... when we adopted Ryan in May 2003 and in January 2004 they automatically sent you the COC in the mail. Now, we have to pay to get Ryan's COC, $420.00 to accomplish this task :/ However, I have contacted our Government and was told that YES Ryan is a U.S. Citizen even though he doesn't have his COC. We do have his U.S. Passport and Naturalization papers.
HAPPY 4TH OF JULY :)
Love & HUGS,
Jenny, Ron, Ryan & Luke :)
