It's official!!! Well, we're one step closer at least, to having him "re-adopted" in the state of Kansas. We officially changed his name to Titus Tariku Avila from Tariku Vicente Avila. There is something that is hurting my heart though, and that is his birthday. It wasn't recorded correctly in Ethiopia, and though we could possibly change it in the state of Kansas, to change it at the Federal level, which affects his Social Security and Visa stuff, is very difficult. We have decided that the best thing is to keep his paper birthdate which is in October. So this year, he gets 2 birthdays! He actually shares his birthday with my cousin Jacqueline, as my daughter Haley shares her day with Jacqueline's dad, Uncle Serrel. Here is a couple of pics we took with the Judge who did our case.
