Yes, but as I said with no real birth certificate it has been a problem. Been trying to get it together for awhile. With only a partical ID it has been taking awhile. Any suggestions gladly accepted.

so, you bought your tickets without a guarantee of your passport?

Yes, but not worried. Everything comes on time. Never late , never early. Sounds stupid I know. But He will come through.

deacon...i was adopted at birth, and had to go thru the state where i was born...not the county or city...being that the records were sealed it took a little longer, and could not be done by phone...had to send any documents pertaining to the adoption...fortunately my adoptive parents had my adoption papers and a copy of my birth certificate...it took a few weeks longer than it did for my friend, who just applied for a regular certified birth certificate...and if i remember correctly, the cost was around $10.00 more...good luck...kerry

Deacon, yes, the original copy, not a copy of the original copy. (Who's on first?) It has to have the original seal from the state or county, like an embossed seal, or a colored seal or some such official sh*t. But if you had that at one time and now just have a basic copy, it won't work. Stop into any main branch post office with a passport office and show them what you have. Hopefully, I'm wrong and what you have will work!

Went thru this 6 years ago. Was to go to London for a week to visit my daughter who was in school there for a semester. Passport office said no, must have certified copy, and because of adoption, did not have. I was adopted at birth, and it seems that my adoptive parents never registered the adoption with the state of Ohio, therefore no birth certificate. It took ten weeks, about $200 in overnight fees, etc. and a lot of anxiety, but, yeah, it finally came 3 days before the trip was scheduled. I finally got a certified copy of my birth certificate a couple of years ago. Good luck, Deacon+!

Deacon,
Try a site called Vitalchek.com. A few years back I renewed my son's passport. The envelope came back with the passport and birth certificate and like a dope I accidently threw away the BC. Ugghhh. I went online to Vitalchek and was able to get a new certificate ( I made sure to get two!) pretty quickly. I just looked at the site and there is a question and answer section regarding adopted children.Follow the steps ect., for your state. Maybe it will help but you had better get moving!!!! Good luck. Rhonda
