Tybeemuffin,
according to the NAIC website GA is one of the states the DOES regonize a international adoption....so my guess would be see county clerk about doing a delayed registration of birth (once that is done) then after that I believe you apply for the a name change
(if needed/wanted).
if you want to see the website the lists the state laws....search NAIC state international adoption laws (not sure i could post site)
