ruby has been a citizen since we landed in the u.s. in april 2003. unfortunately we fell into the crack of our governements b.s. when she did not automatically get the magic certificate of citizenship in the mail. instead i had to fill out a long application, pay over $200, drag her down to INS or whatever it is called these days and wait for it. three months later it arrived. here she is signing her name to her last hoop , or rather my last hoop. both of the girls are now officially us citizens readopted in the state of oregon.yipee.
