This is long past due, but on January 25 - Zebene was officially re-adopted here in Texas. This gives us a U.S. Birth Certificate (easier for school/his future etc.) and also gave us the ability to change his name from how it must be given during the time of adoption in Ethiopia (they must keep their ET name for first name, Dad's name as middle and then the new last name.). Because we decided to keep Z's first name, it didn't seem like a lot changed - however - he did go from "Doug" to "Levi" for the middle.
In any rate, one more thing checked off the "list" in the post-adoption phase. One more round of finances spent for the adoption ($600). With our year anniversary quickly approaching, I am looking forward to getting the last social worker home study update completed and move on with life - if that is even possible once you've completed an adoption. Until Z is 18 we will have to submit reports written by us and photos yearly. Whew!
Here's proof of the day.
