It is not correct that you have to readopt to do a name change or to get a state issued BC - at least in every state. It varies greatly. We only did name changes. In my state there is no way to readopt. There is a court procedure if your child comes home on an IR4 (You get a letter from the Family Court in your county stating that the adoption is a recognized finalized foreign adoption) but there is nothing to do for an IR3. As part of the legal name change in our county, a delayed registration of foreign birth certificate is issued in the new name.
