One of the most common questions we are answering is, "What's Next?" Well, Daisha left Jamaica without a passport. To get a US passport you need an American birth certificate. To get a birth certificate, Daisha needs to appear at the US embassy in Jamaica. So, that is not an option right now. Because of that, we need to find a different way to get her in Jamaica. The other option is to get her a Jamaican passport. As a result of her being born in Jamaica, she is a Jamaican citizen. So, we have been waiting on her Jamaican birth certificate to arrive so we can apply for a passport. On Monday, the birth certificate was picked up in Jamaica and sent to us via FedEx. We are hoping to receive it by the end of the week and start the process for the passport. Today, we got her passport photos printed. I think I will save that story for another post as it was an adventure trying to get her to hold her head straight and look at the camera. Anyways, we do not know exactly how long the passport process will take but we are thinking at least a month. So, in the meantime we are going to be doing what we do, spending time with family and friends and moving around alot.

And coming out to Leo for a visit??? No pressure, but maybe we'll see you?
And we hope everything goes well for Daisha's paperwork. Thankfully you're surrounded by good company (i.e. family & friends) as you wait for all of this to get taken care of!
