I requested, and got, my naturalization papers from my mom

And it seems really weird to look at all them.

Also included is my adoption record. It has my blood father’s death certificate. I’ve never met the man, nor has he me, and I barely know five facts about him, so it’s weird to see his name on paper. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it on paper before.

I also got my India passport. (The whole point of this is to apply for a new passport since the old one has been lost.)

The whole thing is kind of surreal but fun!

Congratulations on having it all together.
