Still celebrating today...

Nathaniel would like to share his thoughts on the day...



Today was a long day but it paid off. We waited 3 hours at the municipality and finally....the civil registrar allowed us to get the birth certificate. Nathan was issued a birth certificate when he was born in his birth name. This new birth certificate shows his name as HOYT and his parents as US! After we got the birth certificate, my driver and friend Claudia and I went to lunch with my attorney. We then went next door to get the Passport -- and it was a breeze. It took about 30 minutes total. This was a full day! Tomorrow we are going to lunch with Claudia and then to the US Embassy for the 2nd DNA test. This will show that Nathan is the same baby he was back in August when the 1st DNA was taken. Then he will have his final medical exam by a US Embassy physician. After that, there is nothing else to do except wait for the DNA results to get back to the Embassy. That should take 7-10 days from tomorrow and then we'll have our appt. date 2-3 days after that. I am anticipating an appt. the 1st week of February (1st-7th). Rich will be coming down as SOON as we get the appt. We should be home by the 10th (of course, if all stays on track from here).

Adios for now!
