We've been waiting for his Social Security number to come for quite a while. We ended up having our income tax refund lowered because the feds didn't see his SSN on our forms. We're going to go to the nearest SS office, which is about 50 miles away, but today we were thrown for a loop. In trying to acquire a certified copy of his birth certificate, we were told that the county has no record of his birth. Great. Just great. So now we're trying to figure out things with the hospital records dept. I figure we should have this all worked out in time for his high school graduation. Frickin' bureaucracy.
