Finally after almost 4 years home, we met in the Honorable Judge Lane's chambers to finalize the re-adoption of our precious Margaret Katherine Xiao. Her name is now legally and offically changed to Margaret Katherine Xiao, she will get a new birth certificate with Mark's and my names as the parents, and she can now apply for an American passport thus changing her status from permanent resident to citizen of the U.S. Thanks to the boys, Maggie was terrified to go to the re-adoption hearing. They watch all of these court t.v. shows where the judge rips into the petitioners...she thought that was going to happen to her. Poor thing. The lesson is that children are always listening and watching and coming to conclusions. Anyway...hip hip hooray....happy adoption day. Oh, just a note...unfortunatlely the picture with the judge (that I had held a place in Maggie's lifebook for)is blurry. Now I am going to have to go to Plan B.
