Greetings all!
My first post, but we brought our first adopted children home two years ago...
We have just (literally - 16 days ago) brought home our second batch of kiddos from Ethiopia (three this time!), and their birthrates are not even close to correct.
All three of the kids are older (13, 10, 9 by their own admission), but their birth certificates have them at 10, 9 and 8.
Can someone who has done this in Wisconsin let me know the process for requesting a change of birth dates during Wisconsin readoption? Also, will this affect their ability to return to Ethiopia for a visit? My thought on that is no, because they would be coming back on a U.S. passport at that point, and there would be nothing to connect their Ethiopian birth certificate to their new U.S. passport.
F.Y.I. the kids entered the U.S. on an IR-4 visa, so we don't yet have their CoC's.
Thanks,
Steve and Christy Oswald

Welcome!
If you don't get a response here, you might cross post on the Guatemalan forum. It is a more active forum and many people there have readopted so you have a good chance of finding someone from Wisconsin that can help you with the readoption information.
You also might try the Russian forum for information on changing their birthdates. There was a discussion on that forum very recently about just that and I know it was said that it varies by state. So maybe someone there can tell you about Wisconsin.
Good luck!
