What a nerve-racking day!!! We had Matthew's adoption domesticated which means that his adoption in Guatemala is officially recognized in the state of Indiana. We also had his name officially changed to Matthew Marlon Antonio Adamczyk......whew, what a day!!
We had to appear in court, take turns on the witness stand, and answer questions. We went there with the belief that it would be an administrative thing and, WOW, were we wrong!!!!! I don't recall ever being more intimidated, not ever. I show up wearing shorts, my shirt was not tucked in, and I was wearing leather sandals. I looked like I was going to a Jimmy Buffett concert. Our attorney even apologized to the judge for my appearance.
Now.....we just have to wait for his new birth certificate and then we can get his social security card and his citizenship papers with his new and correct name. Although, I don't believe we need to worry about the citizenship papers since he will have an Indiana birth certificate....I hope.
Love,
Todd
