We finished it up at the end of last month and now are waiting for the birth certificate. We did not use a lawyer either. Glad to hear you did not waste the money either and that you are finished. The pictures are just adorable!!!! Merry Christmas and God's blessings for 2011.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870502996085911986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443590791536831383.post-54222975182930428172010-12-14T21:41:08.869-06:002010-12-14T21:41:08.869-06:00Hooray!

It was recommended and I am so glad I did. Though the US already recognizes and acknowleges our girls' adoptions, it sure is nice to have it on the books in the US as well. It was very emotional to receive Cate's TN Birth Certificate. I love that under "Mother's Name"...it has my name...not "Unknown." Having a US Birth Certificate makes things like applying to schools, to get a Driver's License, etc, so much easier. :) <br />Keep some kleenex and the camera handy...I imagine the day Maggie's arrives in the mail, you're gonna need both. :)<br />Maggie is just radiant!<br /><br />Merry, Merry Christmas.<br />Suzanne Rowe from TNSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14550505276816733041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443590791536831383.post-51472763913093873712010-12-14T12:26:31.216-06:002010-12-14T12:26:31.216-06:00Congrats on getting the paperwork done yourself!!
