Consular Report of Birth Abroad

The story has concluded rather anticlimactically. During our stay in the states this summer, Daisha's US birth certificate was the source of all of our trouble. It is actually called a "Consular Report of Birth Abroad," but it is the same as a birth certificate. Anyway, as we have explained previously, we needed that document to get her passport so we could get her back in the country. But, as you may remember, you can only get the birth certificate if she shows up in person at the embassy. So, our catch 22, we need a passport to get back in the country to get a birth certificate, but we need a birth certificate to get a passport. The details worked themselves out and with a minor delay we were able to finally get the passport. In the back of our minds we knew that we should probably still go get her birth certificate. This morning, so that we could make it to Kingston in time for another persons appointment, we left our house a 4:45am. We took Daisha and Truitt and left Drew so that he wouldnt miss school. Erin came over at 4:45 to finish her sleep at our place and to get Drew off to school (Thanks Erin!). It took a little over an hour at the embassy and we got her birth certificate. So, that is the end of that saga and in hindsight it probably wasn't worth all of the worry. But, in His time and His way. To God be the Glory!
