Beside playing with lots of new toys and enjoying having Mom and Dad around, the week between Christmas and New Year's Day saw another important event in Cara's life. While our adoption of Cara in Taiwan is fully legal and binding, there are many benefits to re-adopting her in the US, including providing her with a Washington State Birth Certificate and a legal name change. Our social worker recommended an excellent lawyer who completed the paper work quite quickily, so before the end of the year we were able to appear before a judge and finalize the readoption.
The big surprise of our court appearance was finding ourselves with the judge who married us a little over 10 years! A really wonderful coincidence.
