Today Maddie went to LA's Department of Public Health, specifically the Office of Vital Records, and got her birth certificate. There was some confusion during the process - for example, the office insisted that listing Sam's birthplace - Washington D.C. - as Washington state would be an acceptable swap because they were close to the same thing. After we insisted they weren't - they told us, they didn't recommend putting D.C. down because Columbia is a different country. But in the end - it all worked out - Maddie is now a US citizen, and Sam was still born in Washington D.C. Hizzah! (Celebration platter made by Great Aunt Lu).
