We adopted our youngest child from China and sent all the paperwork to the appropriate office in Nantes from the US, back in mid June of 2017... I received a letter stating that all the paperwork had been received and it basically said.. don't call us, we will call you.. we cannot apply for her French birth certificate until this gets processed and thus cannot get her French passport...

I'm just getting a little anxious.. how long does this usually take? I realize that it will take as long as it takes.. and we are not under a time crunch.. but it might help my anxiety to hear that it usually takes.. a year.. 18 months.. etc..

thanks!

 

thank you! so.. 3 months longer. and counting...and thank you for changing the prefix.. that was a new thing and I was very confused as to what to choose
