INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Once the IBESR authorizes the adoption, it must be legally finalized. Depending on the child's situation, a number of Haitian government agencies and courts will potentially be involved. This process may take several months. Stay in touch with your ASP. They will let you know if you need to provide any additional documents or information. Your ASP will assist in completing the forms to get your child's new birth certificate and passport so they can travel to the United States.  To get the child's passport, gather the adoption decree, IBESR authorization papers, and your own identification. Your ASP will apply for the child's passport using these documents. It typically takes between 2 and 3 months to get the child's passport after the adoption has been completed. Since your child isn't yet a US citizen, this petition requests a visa from USCIS so the child can travel to the US with you. Your child's citizenship will be finalized once they come home to the US for the first time.  You can download Form I-800 and instructions at https://www.uscis.gov/i-800. There is no filing fee for Form I-800. The filing of this form is included with the fee you paid when you filed Form I-800A. Your ASP will assist you in gathering the required documents to submit to USCIS so your child can get a visa to travel to the United States. If you're not going to be in Haiti for the interview, these original documents will be sent to your ASP's agent in Haiti. The child must have their birth certificate, two passport-size photos, their Haitian passport, and a medical report. Other documents may be required depending on the child's situation. Your ASP will have a list of the specific documents you need. Before the child's visa interview, go online to https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx to complete this form. Enter identification and biological data about the child and include the cover sheet along with other documentation for the child's visa interview. Your child's visa interview takes place at the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince. A consular officer will evaluate all of the child's documents and issue a visa for the child to travel to the United States.  Your ASP typically will have an agent in Haiti who will attend the visa interview with your child if you are not yet in the country. Sign a Power of Attorney document that gives them authority to represent the child. Provided all the documents are in order, your child's visa will be issued within 2 working days of the interview. After your child's visa has been issued, go back to the IBESR with the adoption order and decree and the child's travel documents. The IBESR will issue an exit letter that allows the child to leave the country with you. Haiti requires a second in-country visit, typically lasting around 6 days. During this time, you will finalize legal travel arrangements for your child so they are allowed to enter the United States with you.  Regardless of where in Haiti your child lives, most of your meetings on this trip will take place in Port-au-Prince. Once your child enters the US, they will automatically become a citizen of the US.

SUMMARY: Receive word that the adoption has been finalized. Order a new birth certificate and Haitian passport for the child. File Form I-800 with the USCIS. Gather documentation for the visa interview. Complete Form DS-260. Schedule your child's visa interview. Request Haitian travel authorization. Travel to Haiti to bring your child home.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Use a home blood pressure machine or go to a local pharmacy. Put your arm in the cuff and follow the instructions on the digital display. Normal blood pressure should be around 120/80 mm Hg. If your blood pressure is 100/80 mm Hg or lower, go to the doctor immediately.  Low blood pressure can lead to shock, which in some cases may be fatal. If you feel lightheaded but can’t measure your blood pressure, see a doctor just in case. If your blood pressure is high (around 140/90 mm hg), still contact your doctor. You may have postpartum preeclampsia. Heavy bleeding can lead to shock, which may be the most dangerous part of postpartum hemorrhage. If you notice symptoms of shock, call for emergency medical treatment. Quick treatment is needed. Symptoms of shock may include:  Clammy skin Blurry vision Chills Rapid heartbeat, a racing pulse, or heart palpitations Rapid and shallow breathing Dizziness Confusion Weakness or a faint feeling These symptoms, if they appear in combination with other symptoms, may also be signs of a hemorrhage. Call your doctor if you develop these symptoms. If you think you look pale, ask someone else to verify it. Make sure you stand in natural lighting, as certain lightbulbs can make you look paler than you really are. Feeling sick to your stomach or nauseous may also be signs, even if you don't actually throw up.

SUMMARY: Take your blood pressure if you feel dizzy or lightheaded. Watch out for signs of shock. Watch out for pale skin or nausea.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Base your prices on your overhead costs, what your competitors charge, and on your location’s median income level. Add up your operating expenses (including products, equipment, mortgage or rent, and utilities), taxes, costs to maintain permits and licenses, and any outstanding loans. Figure out how much money you need to make to cover these costs and maintain a profit margin of at least 10 to 20 percent.  For example, if you want to make $52,000 per year to maintain a 15 percent profit margin, you need to make $1,000 per week. If $80 for a women’s cut and $40 for a men’s cut are reasonable prices in your area, you’ll need to book enough appointments at these rates to meet your weekly quota. While reasonable prices and discounts can build your client base, you need to charge enough to cover your overhead and generate profit. If you undersell your services or offer too many discounts, your profits could take a hit. At a minimum, your services should include cuts, washes, and styling. High end services, such as a $200 precisely sculptured cut, work well in wealthy areas. However, you might want to focus on inexpensive basic cuts in less affluent locations. You might focus on cutting and styling a particular gender or hair type. Factor in your local customers’ needs and, if necessary, broaden your skills so you can build a larger customer base. Hair coloring and extensions can add variety and help you book more appointments. You’ll need to maintain an inventory of all necessary materials, which you can purchase at beauty supply stores. Keep in mind that your local jurisdiction might regulate the use of chemicals or require additional permits. For instance, in the UK, hairdressers must administer a patch allergy test before coloring a client’s hair. Additional services allow clients to patronize your business in between cuts, giving you more opportunities to make money. If necessary, invest in a class to develop these skills yourself or hire staff to help you provide these services. You may start with basic services first, then see if adding other services like facials, make up, and waxing make sense for your home business. They may be good options if you are not getting as many hair clients as you’d like or if you’d like to try out different skills on your clients. Retail is a quick and easy way to generate revenue. A business license allows you to purchase products from wholesalers, which you can then sell at a marked up price. Most retailers use a 50 percent markup. If you purchased a product wholesale at $7, sell it for $14.

SUMMARY:
Price your services competitively. Offer basic services that target your local market. Include coloring and extensions to broaden your clientele. Offer additional services, such as facials, make up styling, and hair removal. Display and sell retail products.
