The last step of Mia's adoption is final. She appeared before a local Chancery Court Judge on Friday with another mountain of paperwork stating that yes, she was a true orphan and that we are fit parents (ha!). She put on her usual little Mia show for him and he scooped her up into his arms declaring he'd take her "if" we ever decided not to....She showed him her pretty dress and shoes and her charm was flowing. We told him we wanted her to be like everyone else but one day she'd realize she doesn't look like everyone else here in Mississippi. He said, "she looks the same to me."
The first 16 months of her life she lived in China, now 16 more months have passed (her adoption day was 2-5-07) and we know more
than ever how blessed we are to have her in our family. Now she's been officially declared a Mississippi girl! She will be issued a Mississippi birth certificate. Mia already speaks with a twang and loves grits - oh my! What are we doing to her?!

Congrats! You guys are looking good, and that southern twang--love it!
Hi,
I stumbled upon your blog while searching re-adoption in Mississippi. We are just beginning our adoption and I want to know everything now. :) How long re-adoption takes, what it costs, what it entails, etc... Any help would be appreciated. I suspect I will now be reading a lot of your old posts! I am soo grateful to all the adoption bloggers.
