There are those that do recommend readopting even with an IR3 visa so that you have a US adoption decree. There have been court cases where internationally adopted children's inheritance rights have been called into question my family members questioning the validity of the foreign adoption decree.
I personally don't have an estate worth fighting about and my family is completely accepting of my adopted children, but you just don't know what could possibly happen down the road. My state (Michigan) has no way to readopt, but if it was an option for me, personally I would do it if the cost was reasonable. But that is just me and my need to cover all the bases.
And of course in some states, readoption is the only way to get a state issued BC.
