Adoption Final

Today, we headed to the courthouse to finalize Conleigh's adoption.  (And to do a readoption for Kenson.  His adoption was actually final and he is a U.S. citizen but the only way to get a birth certificate for him would be to try to acquire one from Haiti.  Readopting in the U.S. allows us access to a U.S. birth certificate.)  So off we went.  And 15 minutes later, we were headed back home.  In D's words, it was the least stressful, least emotional part of the whole process.  We still have to sort out the citizenship part for Conleigh which involves more money and time but we're getting closer to being done.

And you had to go so far;) Hehe, just an added bonus, right?

YAY! You're almost done-- that's a great feeling.

(We didn't even have to go to court for our readoption. It was pretty anticlimactic to just get the documents in the mail. No official family photo in the courtroom!)

Awesome! Congratulations. We plan to do a readopt for our boys next year while on furlough. I'd love to hear more about it.

Congrats! We are trying to domesticate our adoptions and that should result in FL bc's but we don't have the money or the original docs the lawyers want. Ugh. Still working on it.
