I don't prefer one over the other. Both states have told me what they will and will not do...
Oklahoma won't do the readoption b/c we don't live there now. Missouri won't do the birth certificate b/c we didn't live there when the adoption took place.
So... the only option is to do the birth certificate in Oklahoma and the readoption or recognition of foreign adoption in Missouri b/c we live there now. MO isn't all that adoption friendly, from what I have heard and a lot of things are based on county rather than state. It is all confusing.
We should have just done it when we first got home, but like I said, I couldn't even think of more paperwork and more money at the time. Live and learn.
Like I said in my first post, Oklahoma will do a birth
certificate without the readoption or anything else like that, as long as I can prove we lived in Oklahoma at the time of the adoption, which is not a problem. I am leaning toward just doing that b/c my biggest concern was birth certificate anyway... not all the inheritance mumbo jumbo.
