RE-LEGALIZAION

Today we re-legalized Leila's adoption in the Suffolk County Probate and Family Court. It was a nice ceremony and we were lucky enough to have the same judge that finalized Olivia's adoption. She was thrilled to see us back and excited to see pictures we had from Olivia's US adoption day.



This is one of the final steps of our adoption process. It gives Leila the right to an ammended United States birth certificate with Tommy and I listed as her parents. We did a legal name change to Leila Yi Ren Keaney making our adoption complete.


After the ceremony we returned home for a small celebration. After brunch we stripped Leila of her beautiful Chinese dress and let her enjoy eating cupcakes in her own way.
