for your child after readoption, what did you have to show/send to receive your passport? I have her COC with her old name on it, and I have the readoption papers with the new name on it. What did you have to send, and did they give you a hard time?

Thanks
Tiffany

Tiffany-

You need her new BC with her name in the US and showing you as her parents. You likely will also need to send the readoption decree.

I am working on getting Aidan's new BC right now so I can get his passport- I was told today, that it will take another month to issue his BC after I ordered it- so 16 weeks from the date of readoption, I might be able to start the paperwork on his passport. It is a joke that I have to wait 12 weeks after the readoption in order to order his BC and then I have to wait another 4 weeks for expedited service to have the BC in my hands.

We need to get together soon.

Love to you,

We obtaine dour children's passports with the COC (old name) and US birth certificate with the new name. Anna

I sent the COC with his original name, his original BC, his readoption and name change and his new BC. I may have sent too much but figured better safe then sorry.

Good luck!

I cannot believe how long it is taking for one poster to get her new BC. For me, it was the easiest part of the paperchase. I went to my town hall with the new name paperwork, filled out a form and they called me in a week with the new BC's. The clerk was an adoptee and didn't even charge me saying I had already paid enough! It is so aggravating that they make all this stuff so hard.

Same here - Kathy - it was easy to go to my town hall and show them the court readoption - they didn't even keep anything. I went to the post office to send off for DSs passport and we included everything - CoC, readoption papers - all originals ... I was wary but everything including his new passport came back within 6 business days - and yes, I did pay to expedite but had no choice - I waited too late.

The state of OHIO has to make everything difficult. I wish I could have just walked it down the hall of the courthouse to vital records and gotten it then. I even joked with the clerk that Guatemala could give me one in 1 day after the adoption decree was signed.
I seriously think it is a money making scheme for them. And to add insult to the whole thing, i can't request it online becuase the stupid on line form requires the father's name (I am a single mom) and when I put in NONE, it came back and said the last names did not match so I needed to verify and there was no verify or submit button at that point.

Very frustrating process right now- but the readoption was quick and painless, so I can not truely complain.

Love to you,
