It's here! It's here! After three months of waiting, Simon's Indiana birth certificate finally arrived last week. This is one of the steps we needed to take to obtain Simon's certificate of citizenship. Because we did not meet Simon before we adopted him, he came home on an IR-4 visa. This means that we need to complete several steps once we're home for his status to be changed from permanent resident to US citizen. With our next adoption, we will need to travel to Ethiopia twice so we will meet Lil Ailor 2 prior to adopting him/her. Lil Ailor 2 will come home on an IR-3 visa which means he/she will become a US citizen when we land the plane on US soil. We've learned a lot about immigration through our adoption journey! And we're glad to have Simon be one step closer to officially being a US citizen.
