Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's crazy. I assume you saw the story about the Korean adoptee?

government would get it's shit together

When we went to get K's passport renewed, the DH and I had to prove who we were. We brought our passports, and the person on the other side of the desk asked if we had a driver's license because that was better for them. Yup, the federal gov't office begged off using the exact form of ID they are in charge of issuing. Ha!

The best is that none of our original documents for this app got sent back. We have to send in a form to get them. That includes his passport. His original issued readoption (the thing that gives him citizenship), his official US issued birth certificate, MY birth certificate, and probably more. Passport people at least send that shit back.

What? That's bizarre.

Holy crap!! That's insane! What a PITA.

Ok that may have been bad info. The form says that any requested docs will be sent back without the form. I am calling now.

Technically, if he has a US passport, that is proof of his US citizenship. I can totally understand wanting the certificate as well, of course.

Signed, I am an official US Passport Acceptance Agent. (It is super-fun. I have seen practically everything you can imagine in the past couple of years.)

Yep the passport was fine, but well it expires and he is flakey.

I have seen a bunch of super-flaky people in my passport work. Last week I talked to a 32 year old man who told me he'd have to ask his mother if she had a copy of his birth certificate.
