I wish we all could be California Girls....

Well California we thank you for officially adding one more California Girl to your state. Yesterday we successfully completed the CA-Readopt so that MeiMei could get her own official California Birth Certificate. This Birth Certificate will indicate China as her birth location, but it will allow her to always have a US birth certificate and avoid any issues down the road with having a Chinese birth certificate with an unknown location of birth. God forbid anything happen to our Chinese documents... but if they did she now officially on record here in CA.
The re adoption process is not required as she was officially adopted in China and became a US citizen when she set foot off the plane in San Francisco. It is more a formality and the avoidance of a potential problem down the road---that and now she can sign up for soccer.
Good Reason to Celebrate. Here is a photo of our new California Girl...

Congratulations, MeiMei!!!!! I always wanted to be a California girl. Unfortunately I was always a southern gal instead.
