I wonder, are any of you also adopted?

This is a total bummer when I need to get a driver license, passport, and requires telling all this.

California finally reprinted the short form on a long form sheet with the state seal....cost me 100 bucks or so, but works.


I guess they let limited info out to everyone but me, and it was hush hush, maybe because persons were bound to secrecy by the courts. Mom never imagined I guess- that I could use first and last name of my birth mom, and find my way to my brother, and sisters.
