Just a word of explanation - Switzerland does not automatically grant citizenship to people born here, the way that US does. At least one of the parents of the baby has to be a Swiss Citizen for the baby to have a claim. Since neither one of us is Swiss, the poor munchkin was a baby with no land for about a month.
But we finally took her passport photos and went to Bern (capital of Switzerland) to the US Embassy and applied for her passport, birth certificate and Social Security Number.
Here we are, all three now a proper family of Americans.
Best thing - we can now travel with her! Her first plane trip is coming up beginning of May. We will be going to Venice for a a few days. Yay!
