In case you haven't heard...

She's Got Proof!

Today Hanna's Certificate of Citizenship arrived! Woo Hoo! This was the last major adoption paper work that we had to do. So, while she has officially been an American citizen since December 11th when we had our court hearing, she now has the proof to show it. Now, we'll head off to Social Security and get her status updated with them and then apply for a US passport for her.
