while home births (and even homeschooling) aren't especially popular in my neck of the woods, i'd wager that in regions where that's more popular there must be a ton of kids who are lacking some/all documentation, especially if one of the various flavours of government distrust are driving that kind of behaviour

i don't know anyone that's been homeschooled but i can only imagine what kind of quirks a person growing up so isolated and influenced by their parents must develop if they get fed hardline crazy
i know 3 people who were homeschooled, 2 of which are my cousins, and they all come from batshit insane fundie parents. one of said cousins decided he wasn't so religious anymore and his parents cut almost all ties with him.

if he was in that no bc/no documentation boat, he'd be hosed beyond belief

it's pretty typical for very rural areas that parents will wait to get them ssns until the kids are like 15/16 and can start working, they'll still fill out a birth certificate or at least register the birth with their local church though.

is that still typical? I know that used to be the case but a lot of that kind of record keeping has been tightened up since 9/11

oh dear, the further i dig into this...

quote:

Form DS-10: Birth Affidavit
If you were born in the United States and cannot present primary evidence of U.S. citizenship, you may submit Form DS-10: Birth Affidavit as evidence of your U.S. citizenship. The birth affidavit:
  • Must be notarized,
  • Must be submitted in person with Form DS-11,
  • Must be submitted together with early public records,
  • Must be completed by an affiant who has personal knowledge of birth in the U.S.,
  • Must state briefly how the affiant's knowledge was acquired, and
  • Should be completed by an older blood relative.
NOTE: If no older blood relative is available, it may be completed by the attending physician or any other person who has personal knowledge of your birth.

either your parent or a direct medical witness can underwrite the request, so with a home birth you really depend on your parents to sign the drat papers

quote:

Early Public Records
If you were born in the United States and cannot present primary evidence of U.S. citizenship, submit a combination of early public records as evidence of your U.S. citizenship. Early public records must be submitted with a Letter of No Record. Early public records should show your name, date of birth, place of birth, and preferably be created within the first five years of your life. Examples of early public records are:

  • Baptismal certificate
  • Hospital birth certificate
  • Census record
  • Early school record
  • Family bible record
  • Doctor's record of post-natal care

that home birth/school combo will really be an issue when they try to fix the issue later though

things might work differently where i live but don't americans need to submit their ssn with anything before they start working? i mean if they use any kind of gov't benefits the agencies need to keep track of services rendered, so either ssn or state identification of some kind?

not counting the w-4 form used to determine your withholding or any number of forms for healthcare or payroll taxes, nowadays there's an i-9 form, courtesy of the department of homeland security, which is used to determine your employment eligibility and keep those illegals from stealing are jobs

uncooperative parents who won't sign a form will for sure submit to a blood test, good idea. that will def prove the time and place of birth.

Aren't you a US citizen regardless of place of birth as long as your parents are citizens? If the parents won't cooperate I'm sure there are other family members that would and probably a court could order the parents to provide samples for a test anyway otherwise no paternity suit could be proved ever.

There aren't necessarily other family members, and even if there are, they may be as crazy and uncooperative as the parents.

(And you're automatically a US citizen if you're born on US territory, but if you're born overseas there's a bunch of requirements related to your parent's citizenship/national status, residency history and whether or not you're a bastard.)

A US citizen lady who has a baby has a US citizen baby (if she registers the birth as such), whether she's married to the father (or sperm donor) or not. Marriage is only relevant when the father is a US citizen and the mother isn't. And now there are provisions for addressing that in any case, which is honestly pretty loving late to the party, but still.

this ought to get the buttlords going

quote:

(Reuters) - International Business Machines Corp is considering adopting the underlying technology behind bitcoin, known as the "blockchain," to create a digital cash and payment system for major currencies, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The objective is to allow people to transfer cash or make payments instantaneously using this technology without a bank or clearing party involved, saving on transaction costs, the person said. The transactions would be in an open ledger of a specific country's currency such as the dollar or euro, said the source, who declined to be identified because of a lack of authorization to discuss the project in public.

The blockchain - a ledger, or list, of all of a digital currency's transactions - is viewed as bitcoin's main technological innovation, allowing users to make payments anonymously, instantly, and without government regulation.

Rather than stored on a separate server and controlled by an individual, company, or bank, the ledger is open and accessible to all participants in the bitcoin network.

I follow a blog of some psuedo-hippies that roam around that decided to have their kids in Mexico (like a poster previously commented on, it's insanely cheap even if the baby needs intense care)

quote:

At the end of the day this is what it cost us. The c-section delivery added about twenty percent to the cost because of the extra surgeon on hand and the extra day in the hospital needed for recovery. But as you can see the cost was still extremely reasonable. We recommend Dr. Laura and have already said that if we have more children and it is at all possible we will be coming back to Puerto Vallarta and her again. This was the ideal experience for us.

Our cost to have a baby in Mexico = $3,113
doctor visits with ultrasounds (October-Delivery) $104; c-section delivery/hospital 2 days $2904; pharmacy (prenatal and postnatal) $105

...and to register the birth and get US citizenship for the baby all it takes is basically an afternoon trip to the embassy to fill out a few forms. Getting that baby a passport is a bureaucratic nightmare but getting it US citizenship is trivial.... unless you wait like 16 years...

quote:

There is a bit of paperwork involved, but nothing much more than proving to the embassy that the baby is indeed ours and was born while we were here. The paperwork basically requires pictures of [the mother] during pregnancy, some documentation from the doctor, and a four ounce filet off of the placenta. No, not really.

No need to worry, our child will indeed be an American, free to work his/her life away earning enough money to retire to a beachside bungalow in his/her homeland of Mexico. It’s the new American dream.
