I was expecting to have to get her a passport anyways after the adoption so having to still do that I don't mind at all. It's like $35 for children under 16 anyways, which isn't bad at all in comparison to $75-$100 for adults. I'm just THRILLED with the prospect of being able to finally travel with her to see my family especially now knowing it'll probably be another year before we can finalize with her.

The only downside is we still need to wait for *B's* adoption to be final before we can get hers. She still has an anonymous type legal name, no birth certificate and no SSN and her CW has absolutely no motivation to try to get these things for her (we've been promised she's working on it for a year and nothing's happened). On the bright side we expect to finalize her adoption in October, but that puts us at sometime in December most likely to receive the things we need in order to apply for her passport. So that more than likely rules out our chances of going to Canada for Christmas.
