Still paper chasing

With Daniel's adoption being finalized before the holidays, I was able to submit his paperwork for US birth certificate. It arrived last week! It was so exciting to hold it in my hands and realize-yup, this tot is here to stay!

 Next on the list is to get a US Passport. Dave and I headed into our local post office to get it taken care for Daniel only to be told the staff only accepts the paperwork by appointment only and that they were booked up for 2.5 months. My goodness! So, I came home and looked up online where else we could submit Daniel's passport paperwork and came up with an appointment 45 minutes away from our house for 7:45 this morning.

We were up and out by 7AM, Passport paperwork submitted before 8 and then off to school for Daniel and work for the parents.

Once Daniel's passport arrives in 4-6 weeks, we can finally apply for a social security number for him. Then, once that arrives (unless I do that in person down in Denver) WE WILL BE OFFICIALLY DONE WITH PAPER-CHASING!
