After 11 years of living in the United States, FINALLY, Rupert is a U.S. Citizen!
(And officially changed his name to include Rupert, which has been a nickname since he entered primary school in Hong Kong, but never a legal name).
There were 28 people gaining U.S. Citizenship, from 18 different countries. It was quite something!
It was a complicated process, which seemed endless at times, especially when desperately trying to get his permanent resident/green card, in order to file our adoption paperwork with Homeland Security back in 2008. 3 years after that, (March 2011) he applied for Citizenship, and finally received his interview this fall, and passed the test.
He's the last in our family to gain Citizenship, since Aaron gained it when our plane touched down at JFK.
Congratulations Rupert, we are so proud of you!
