[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 411277, member: 1169"] Slsh -- I don't think we use the same SSA office but ours is equally bad. When I first adopted the kids, I went in (with the children in tow) to try and get new ss numbers issued since their old ones were all over paperwork across the state and birthfamilies had those numbers. She said that I needed more than just birth certificates. Um, what other IDs do babies have???? She argued that I didn't need new numbers, a supervisor finally came over and explained that adoption was one of the few times that a new number can be issued because legally they are a 'new' person. Supervisor said that the adoption court order would count as a 2nd form of ID. So I go home, get the court order and when I return I get the same woman, her response to me, "I didn't think you wanted them to know they were adopted." I just stared at her and then turned to look at my very blantantly transracially adopted kids -- two of whom were old enough that it was clear they had memories from before we adopted them. I told her 'we decided to tell them' -- seriously??? [/QUOTE]
