New Birth Certificates!

Two months after our final adoption papers were released...we have Ben, Jenna, and Lindsay's new birth certificates! It has been 22 months since we invited them into our home and we can now finally say that everything is official. :) Although we can breathe a sigh of relief that this stage of the process is over, now we start the second round of paperwork. Tomorrow, we will head to the city to apply for their Brazilian identification cards and once those are in hand, we can apply for passports. At this point, I don't even want to think about the documents we'll need when we're ready to travel back to the states! Thank you for your continued prayers.
