I am about to begin the process of readoption within the County Surrogate Court of NJ. and having difficulty finding someone to speak to within the system who is COMPASSIONATE enough to simply explain and lay out the requirements to me. I've spent days reading on .gov websites and still lack a satisfactory understanding of the whole process. I would like to correspond with someone who has completed a foreign readoption in NJ for any help I might gain from them sharing their experience with me. It would be most helpful hearing from someone who has done this without an attorneys assistance as that is how I, unfortunately, must handle this. Also, is there anyone who was able to do this WITHOUT possessing the required CERTIFIED ORIGINAL FOREIGN DECREE (all I have is the CERTIFIED TRANSLATION of said Decree, not in the foreign language) I am hoping that I will not need to fly to Romania to obtain this document. Lastly, my children came here on IR-4 visa status. Can someone help me?
PLEASE!
