Successful Re-Adoption!

Our court hearing went off seamlessly, the judge waived the typically required 6 month waiting time frame for us in OK and signed the petition to legally change her name from Misrak Caleb David to Sakari Ava Misrak David. Soon she will receive an Oklahoma birth certificate and we'll be on the way to getting her a US passport! Woohoo! The whole experience was great, our attorney was very good and the judge said that she saw Sakari as she walked in from lunch and that Sakari caught her eye...even before we entered her courtroom. She was very warm and friendly and excited for us...she even had her bailiff takes pics for us - we've posted them on here, notice the pic of us and the judge...and who is holding the gavel!!! The longest part was waiting to be called but once we got in there, it took about 10 minutes...it was a great experience!!! A quick tip on attorney fees...we have Pre-Paid Legal service for just about $25 a month and it cut our attorney fees in half! Well worth it...it might be something to look into if you're an adoptive family...enjoy the pics of the re-adoption and us playing in our front yard this evening!
