Ben's birth certificate finally came by UPS today. His adoption was almost 11 years ago. Normally, you are supposed to get a new birth certificate right after the adoption is finalized, but our attorney messed up royally. He didn't file some of the necessary paperwork. It took a bit of doing... we had to go to the courthouse where he was adopted (a 5 hour drive... over a pass) and have them unseal the sealed documents. I'm glad all of that is over. I now I have birth certificates for everyone!
