You cannot change which domain in the forest is the forest root so you are stuck with that original design unless you want to start from scratch. Rather than making new domains for each remote office, you should keep them everything in the same domain and split them up with different AD Sites and OU's. It does not sound like you really need more than one domain so keep it simple if you can.

Subject: [ActiveDir] AD screw up
Not knowing what I was doing I set up an AD at my company corporate office. I
then converted everyone over to it along with my Exchange server.
Now I also have a couple of branch offices and want to create children.
The mistake I made was that I did not set up an Empty Root Domain first. I
setup the corporate domain as the first server.
This is what I would like to do. Tell me if I am wrong or if you have any
other suggestions.
Root - ADRoot
child - corp.ADRoot
child - branch1.ADRoot
child - branch2.ADRoot
I do not want the domains to be internet FQDN.
