Social Security

Hello All! Well today Luke got his social security number!! YAHOO! One obstacle down and one to go. Kelly had to wait outside in line at the local social security office this morning before they even opened. Needless to say from my post yesterday you all know Luke was freezing by the time they entered the building. They waited 1 and 1/2 hours and they succeeded. This is so much different than biological children. In adoption you commonly feel like you are fighting for every piece of information or validation you get. Having a child to me is so much easier in that respect. You have to work harder, be on top of all the angles and not stop asserting yourself for the child. Of course it is very worth it, you just have to accept you have to work harder. Now we wait for INS or USCIS to approve Luke's N-600 form for naturalization. When we received the receipt in the mail for that form after we sent it, they said it took six months to process. Well we've still got awhile as six months has not elapsed. So we will let you know when it is official and final. As if it isn't already. Love, Crystal
