Italian Exemption

We sent off our Italian exemption letter today:


Dear Sir/Ma'am,
My husband and I are currently residing in Naples, Italy under the Status of Forces Agreement. Victor is active duty military stationed at U.S. Naval Hospital Naples from June 2011 through June 2014.
We are starting the process of adopting a baby from Colombia and are requesting authorization to conduct a Hague adoption through a U.S. Hague accredited adoption agency, and for authorization for our U.S. Adoption Service Provider to conduct our home study in Italy. Basically, we are asking for an exemption from the requirement of adopting through the Italian system and permission to adopt through the U.S. process.
Our adopted child will have U.S. citizenship upon completion of the adoption and will be living with us under sponsorship of the military. As previously stated, we are only living in Italy temporarily and are habitually domiciled in the U.S.
Thank you for your attention and support in consideration of this request.

Hopefully, we will receive our approval soon!
