This morning we went to the judge's office and signed the final decree. Then Patrice took Paul to get the birth certificate and finally used one of the billion fotocopias in the city. Sofia and I met up with them again at the passport office. We got very, very lucky, because tomorrow is a holiday, and the passport office was closing early today. They were able to rush us through so we didn't have to wait till Monday to get the passport. This means we could buy our plane tickets to Bogota today for a Sunday morning flight. This evening we had to meet back at the attorney's office to turn in some papers and pay her. She wished us much happiness as a family, and we could leave her office feeling very excited and great sense of relief.
Now we just need to get in touch with our representative in Bogota to see when we can get the required appt. with the embassy doctor and predict when we will have Sofia's visa so we can change our flight home. But for right now we are celebrating!!!
