Many single moms now have the father's name included on the OBC, even if never married to the father, so long as the 'father' agrees to. My own brother would be 'named' 'father' on one of his daughter's (other daughters in marriage) OBC (1990), while he was in a relationship with the mother of his child. They would soon after go their separate ways and 'daddy dearest' didn't pay any child support and 'lost' contact with the mother of his child. A child support entity sanctioned by The State of Michigan, tracked dear bro down here in Texas and presented him with a bill for $47,000. You play, you pay, Dear Daddies!!<BR/><BR/>I would ask this, Cedar...did you or your son contact his father in regards to his father's name being included on the son's OBC? Or maybe the laws are different in your locality?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-8992681165124980872008-04-25T21:25:00.000-02:002008-04-25T21:25:00.000-02:00you know what is incredibly stupid about that "Fat...you know what is incredibly stupid about that "Father Unknown" business?<BR/><BR/>last week my son (you know the one) applied for a new copy of his birth certificate. the form he had to fill in stated that if there was only one legal parent (i.e the mother) then he had to fill in "unknown" for the other parent. Like HELL the guy was "unknown"!<BR/><BR/>So again, it is still presumed that if we're not married, we're loose sluts who would sleep with anyone! I was astounded to see this still on the form, in 2008.<BR/><BR/>This type of government assumptions are dispicable. My son showed me this and we put in BOTH parental names. No way was i going to state that the father was "unknown" or have this assumption made about my morality!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-30924932095360732952008-04-25T14:04:00.000-02:002008-04-25T14:04:00.000-02:00Amen, Shadow. We all need to step up to the booth ...Amen, Shadow. We all need to step up to the booth and vote these a$$holes out of office.

Yes, they (Adoption Industry) do!!! Mass amounts no less. All this BS about burfmuggle privacy rights, what about those poor adopters that sacrificed their lives to raise someone else's kid, that life as we know it on the Planet Earth will cease to exist, should those mysterious, secret records be opened. Jesus, it sounds something akin to the DaVinci Code!<BR/><BR/>If I recollect correctly some people voted for these elected officials who are deciding what can or cannot be in a certain population of people's lives. Let the true bastards know they won't be getting your vote next time they are up for re-election and that you will tell all who will listen. These elected officials have set themselves up as Lesser Gods and that only they can dictate what will or will not be. Elected officials only have the power we give to them, either by voting them in or plain ole apathy, to include silence. I know it is a hard boat to row..adoptees have to fight even harder for their inherent right to their OBCs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-8772894449161992982008-04-23T16:03:00.000-02:002008-04-23T16:03:00.000-02:00Robin,Thank you for this post!
