    Has anyone gone through the process to obtain birth registration for a child adopted from China to US parents (one of whom also has dual citizenship with France)

    Once I get my French Passport, I am going to go about registering my marriage and the births of my children.. 3 are biological children and I understand that process and have the forms.. however my youngest child is adopted from China.. I am confused if I can just register like for a bio child with her reissued US birth certificate (issued by our State after a Recognition of Foreign Adoption through the Family Court system) or if I need to go through the rather long and drawn out process of sending reams of paperwork to France under their Recognition of Foreign Adoption process..

    Has anyone done this and what did you do?

    thanks!

    In case anyone was wondering.. I ended up having to get all the adoption paperwork translated into French (the DC Consulate directed me to find an official translator here in the US) and then sent it all off to France with the application form.. Now we wait...
