Yep, we're good now. We got Bella enrolled in DEERS when she was 3 weeks old (after ICPC cleared us). We opted for Tricare Standard though after finding a civilian doctor we were more comfortable with and was understanding of our situation. We didn't need to do anything more with Tricare (after spending time with their office I got that final answer). But if we were going to to Prime, just like with any kid, you have to enroll prior to that 60 day window.

The kids stay in DEERS, although after finalization, you DO need to go back to have them change the coding (from pre-adopt to permanent child).

Hoping to adopt again down the road...
