Guess who's got a copy of her birth certificate in hand, so can go apply for her very first passport?
We're hoping one of these will work. ;) They seem to be a little more forgiving about infant passport photos than "big person" ones! In this incredibly slow adoption process, it feels good to have something to
do. She and I will drive down to the nearest issuing location next week with a notarized paper from Daddy in hand and get her passport rolling so she's ready when we are finally ready to travel!

Even having
all of the papers in hand doesn't mean things start snapping along! This week has been spent reviewing and revising a few pieces of the home study. It's nice having our agency in the girls' country reviewing the document for potential red flags ahead of time, but it means there's back and forth time involved...maybe by NEXT week we'll have a signed and notarized copy of our home study that we can submit to the USCIS.
Maybe.
The second one should do it, she's facing the camera and her eyes are open. :) We had to go twice before we got one of Gwen, because as soon as we laid her down on the matt, she'd close her eyes and fall asleep!
