With Court Commissioner Dicke

The final legal step in our international adoption journey is called the Re Adopt. Our adoption was final when we passed court in Ethiopia last July 31 and the re adopt is a process that formally acknowledges that within the US court system. It is a fairly simple process and, upon conclusion, the court directs the State of Washington to issue birth certificates in the names of Daniel and David as if they had been born to us. In the future, we will be able to order certified copies of these birth certificates as needed (school, passports, marriage, etc.), which will be much easier to obtain from Washington than they would be from Ethiopia.

With Joy Casey

The court commissioner wanted to hear about our adoption and about Ethiopia, so we were blessed again with the opportunity to tell others what God is doing in our lives.
