and we had to send in our childrens' certified adoption decrees (you need these if final birth certificates are issued a year after your child's birth). I did not know this, and am now re-ordering certified copies of these documents "just in case" from our state. Know they will come back with our passports, but... I like to be prepared for the unexpected. If they are returned as expected, we'll have 4 weeks left until we leave for our cruise.
Just an FYI!
Barbara (PS We had to make an appointment at one local post office for passport processing and they had a 2 week waiting period. We found a post office that accepted walk-ins. Luckily, our family of four had all paperwork and checks completed prior, as well as our passport photos. It took us 10 minutes total. The family in front of us completed their forms at the window and took about 45 minutes total. There was quite a line behind us, and they close the window at 4 p.m. sharp according to the clerk. It was 3:50 p.m when we left. Oh yes, our children had to accompany us for the processing to occur.)
