Adoption finalized

According to what our agency has told us, if both parents travel, the adoption is considered finalized at the American Consolate in China. Some states require you to "re-adopt" when you return, but this wouldn't affect your federal tax return.

If only one parent travels, that changes things a little. It may not be considered finalized until the re-adoption. I am not as sure about this situation.
