Meet the Nguyens: Little Linh (8) is off to visit her cousins with Grandma Mai. Before the trip, Linh's parents visited Thu Thiem Notary Office to get a notarized consent letter. At the airport, they breeze through check-in with Linh's birth certificate and the crucial consent letter. Grandma Mai's secret weapons? The properly notarized document, a big smile, and Linh's favorite snacks for the flight. ✨
