This was so fun to get in the mail, just like Nadia’s. About two weeks ago we also got the flag that we had flown over the Capital on 2.26.2011 and a very nice letter from our Congressman.
One thing that disappointed me about Amelie’s COC is that there was no letter from the President welcoming the new citizen. I have heard this from other people that once President Obama took office that this ended. You can request a letter from his office and that’s all fine and good, but why not just do it automatically like President Bush did? It’s not like he actually signs it, it’s really just a formality. Seems like such a strange thing to have ended since I think it would mean something to all new citizens – not just the adopted ones.
