I would agree Diane. I think it more often comes into play with those who don't have specific written wills detailing their wishes. Though I suspect that is pretty common. I know that I am guilty of not updating the details of our will and my kids have been home for over 4 years. (I really need to scrape up the money and just do it.) I am just saying that that is the main reoccuring reason I have seen regarding why readoption is often recommended.

I have also seen the argument that if international relations with the sending country should change, or state or federal laws regarding international adoption change, or what have you change, having that US decree is one additional step of confirmation of your child's adoption. I personally worry less about that myself but I have seen that argued as well.

That is me too. I just have to cross the T's and dot the I's. But it definetly is a personal decision for each family.
