We only did a name change. The way we did it, we never needed to go to court, just mailed in documents, and received a court order for the name change.

In Maryland, it is NOT necessary to do a readoption when you have IR-3. You can get a Maryland "Certificate of Foreign Birth" with just the documents you bring home from Guate and proof of the parents residency (you could do this the day after you arrive home, if you aren't changing the name). If you readopt, you get the exact same kind of birth certificate, but the name change is included.
