Just our situation in our state:
I made it more confusing and difficult for our lawyer by not readopting first and getting the name change at that time. Because we did a name change first, he is having to research and ask a lot of questions of the very people at the state level who were confused in the first place by our state's change in adoption laws in the last few years. It was going to cost us more just to get this accomplished for my piece of mind...now I'm sure I've added more "by the hourly" wage for our lawyer. He's a good, small town, local guy, and he knows now he's got another adoption to finalize for us when our next one comes home. Discount, maybe?
