After returning home from overseas with your child, there is
still a little more "paper chasing" to do:
* Recognition of Foreign Adoption allows you to obtain a
Florida birth certificate so you do not have to rely on the
foreign birth certificate, and assume the risk of losing it.
* Re-adoption allows you to apply for a U.S. Certificate of
Citizenship, if your child came home on an IR-4 visa.
* Name change is permitted in Florida before you acquire a
Social Security Number and other legal documents for your
child.
* Wills, Trusts, and Guardianship will give you the peace of
mind that your minor child is protected if something
happens to you.
Shortly after adopting his own daughter from China, Paul
completed her Recognition of Foreign Adoption in Duval
County, Florida, and discovered that many families were
searching for an attorney that could do this work for them as
well, efficiently, and at a reasonable price.
Paul makes this final step stress-free, so that you can enjoy
fully your new member of the family.
