I sent off the adoption paperwork to get the kids' new birth certificates sometime back and they arrived yesterday. Visualize: Happy Dance. Surprisingly there isn't much to them. It's basically their names, birth dates, my name and age at the time of their birth, and the city and county of their birth. Easy Peasy data entry right?
Apparently not.
Someone completely left off the city and county of birth on Little Buddy's certificate. Zilch, zip, nada. They used my married name (instead of my maiden name) on both. I bet I could just fill in the blanks and make corrections with a Sharpie.. that'll fly at Social Security, right?
Oh yeah.
I've surmised the fine employees at Vital Records

The day I was getting ready to leave the hospital, after giving birth to my daughter, Audrey!, they had me going over all paper work for birth certificate, ss#, etc... they had her down as a male infant! Really?!!! Come on people!! Thank goodness my mom was there and caught it!! I was so worried about them spelling her name right (she has multiple capital letters in her middle and last names!)... that I missed the gender line!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the waiting for the phone call, and getting it corrected in a timely fashion!!
Thank goodness for Moms!!
DeleteI figure I'll hear from them by MY birthday (that would be June..). ;)
