GREAT NEWS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today we finally received Zian's Australian birth certificate... We are so happy for Zian that in the years to come she will have this piece of paper that will allow her to have an identity of being born in China however recognized in Australia with Dave and i being her Mother and Father. It is exactly the same as Tayns reads from the Northern territory.
We would like to thank Carol from N.t Adoption for her work in helping me compile all necessary paperwork for the Attorney generals office to accept our request for Birth Certificate.
To date in Australia only 2 states recognize a Chinese born child through inter country adoption, with an Australian birth certificate... NOT HAPPY WITH THIS ISSUE -----
And again it is why we need 1 governing body at Federal level to over see All Inter country Adoption laws, legislation, time frames and costing of adoption.
We have this week starting on 17th for the first week ever in Australia launched ADOPTION AWARENESS WEEK, this will be a yearly event .The aim of awareness week is to make aoption more of a talked about and understood topic. To make adoption excepted.

What a wonderful advancement in understanding families and their childrens journeys....
