After completing Joy's last post placement visits in 2008, we never contacted the attorney to apply for her birth certificate. The post placement expired. Once Ivy came home, we updated Joy's paperwork, completed Ivy's post placement reports, and sent it all in to the attorney. Technically, we did not have to apply for a birth certificate. The adoptions were finalized in China. The girls would not have a US birth certificate, though. Even though it costs quite a bit to do a re-adoption in Virginia, it is well worth it to have that piece of paper. It will make things in their life much easier years from now. Finally, after 6 years of adoption-related paperwork, we are all done. All done.
But, we will have 2 empty beds in the house after Jordan and Seth leave, won't we? No. All done.
4 kind words:
Hmm...two empty beds...it does make you stop and thnk..doesn't it?
There are several older girls at Kendall's orphanage . . . just saying!
How sweet to see their birth certificates!
Yes! Two empty beds! And ow, you can travel to get **two** at once.
Coincidence?
Oh we need to the birth certificate thing her in GA. I just dread getting it all together and shelling out more dough, but I want a US birth certificate.
wouldn't 2 sweet brothers be fun ;)
