Wisconsin Order Registering a Foreign Adoption Order is a process through which a court in the state of Wisconsin officially recognizes an adoption finalized in another country. This process is necessary for the adoptive parents to obtain legal guardianship of the adopted child and obtain all the rights and responsibilities that come with it. There are two types of orders: 1) Foreign Adoption Declaration Order, which is used when the adopted child is already in the U.S., and 2) Foreign Adoption Finalization Order, which is used when the child is still abroad. In either case, the adoptive parents must submit the required paperwork to the court, including an adoption decree from the foreign country, a birth certificate, proof of identity, and other documents. Once the court reviews the paperwork and makes a decision, the Wisconsin Order Registering a Foreign Adoption Order is issued, which grants the adoptive parents legal guardianship of the adopted child.
