The Common Room / Birth certs info
« on: Saturday 09 July 11 08:42 BST (UK) »
I have just received through the post a birth certificate. It is for my adopted sons brother, I am collecting sibling Certs for later on in his life. He is too little to understand as yet but am trying to be prepared.
I have found that there is hardly any info on it. Let me explain.
It has child's name, mums name, where born, this case was in ambulance. As a social worker registered the child they will have documentation now. What happens in the future when, like us, others are trying to trace relatives. My son is lucky as I will leave him all I know but for others it will be a brick wall.
I know when the said child is adopted the cert differs, I.e. Name changes etc. I have not had to as yet ever look up any adoption details.
Have others found this a problem in the past
