DNA test for Rachael
Tuesday, December 2, 2008
Since Rachael can't have another copy of her original birth certificate, (yes she had one and of all things it was stolen) and I lied about her fathers name on her original, AND she would need BOTH sets of parents permission to receive a new copy, would a blood test proving her father is in fact her father suffice in a court of law so that we parents (all 4 of us) could give our permission for her to have a new birth certificate?
Would it be possible to have her fathers real name inserted where the slightly altered name off of a cigarette pack is? I wonder? It will be impossible to get one even with every one's permission since her father is not the name listed on the original. A blood test would be the only way to clear that. But if we did clear that would it be possible to get her an original birth certificate with her mother and father's real name on it?
Any thoughts?

Hmm, it's worth a try. Might be good way to get some attention paid to birth certificate issues and the lunacy of sealing/altering birth certificates. (If youare comfortable going public, that is).

Do you know an attorney or have one? That would be a good question. They can solve crimes with DNA so why can't they produce a new/corrected birth certificate? Our government/judical system definitely sucks!

ummmm....i asked that when i went to try to get my copy. they told me "nope, doesnt matter who you bring, you are NOT ENTITLED"
so i am guessing i could get you, jim, mom and dad with a dna test and a sworn testamony from the pope and i would still be out of luck.

Just wanted you to know I was here.
It might be interesting to submit a birth certificate change request just to see what happens.
