Can anyone give me information on who to contact and/or the process for readoption in Austin Texas? The child came home on an IR3 visa, but they want to do a legal name change and get a state issued birth certificate. Is it necessary to readopt there to do a name change and get a BC? Thanks in advance!!

We did a recognition of Foreign Adoption and did it alone.You can fill out the forms yourself - go to a district court and testify in front of the judge - they will sign the order and it is done. There is language in the document that has a place to enter in the child's new name. Someone actually posted detailed instructions on it. Try a search for the thread - I think they even included the text for the documents.
Thanks for giving me the kick to look it up instead of being lazy and just asking the question. ;) For the person who asked me to post this, here is the thread I think TXTennis is talking about. It seems to cover EVERYTHING.
