Readoption

Noah's readoption was finalized on Monday at the Forsyth County Superior Courthouse.  We waited over 3 months for the hearing and therefore had to make a trip back to Georgia.  It was a great weekend visiting both sets of grandparents, squeezing in a few old friends and worship at our former church and then we ended it with a not-so-fun 4 year well check for Noah.  In the next 8-10 weeks we hope to receive his new birth certificate and oddly enough will be listed as his birth parents.  Readoption is not required but strongly suggested for children that have been adopted internationally because it will make applying for a passport, registering for school, applying for a job and (hopefully) one day a marriage license MUCH easier for Noah.  We had the most amazing attorney ever who prepared the necessary paperwork and commuted from Peachtree City out of the goodness of her own heart; she's also an adoptive parent and a wealth of knowledge.  God continues to share His blessings in ways we are often unable to anticipate.
