Okay, so we've completed all the hoops and paperwork for adoption and are almost ready to be on 'the list'. However, it turns out that there is some sort of identification number missing on my birth certificate to 'prove' I've been born. The hospital I was born in burned to the ground years ago and their records are gone. I have social security card, passport, long work history, taxes, etc.
Sort of sounds vaguely familiar these days.
Honestly, I really do exist and deserve to live in the good ole US of A. But if you never hear from me again, I've apparently become Schrodinger's cat.
