Talking Domestication of Foreign Adoption - SC

Hi all! Well, we received the signed order yesterday from the family judge. Austin's adoption is official in the US and they are issuing him a birth certificate from South Carolina as we speak! Now comes the fun part - trying to get his first US Passport. We are just thrilled that the journey is finally OVER!!! He will be 2 next month and it has been one heck of a ride!

The funny thing was, we realized that Austin was born on my husbands birthday, PGN signed him out on my birthday and his Domestication order was signed yesterday - on his birth mom's birthday! How's that for God's sense of humor?
