    My son needs a Birth Certificate and a SSN#
    I am trying to obtain a birth certificate and a social security number for my son. I have been trying since he was born a year ago. I had no prenatal care throughout my pregnancy, I delivered my son by myself at my home with no witnesses. I then was going to give my son up for adoption, but after I got an adoption attorney, I decided to keep my son at the last moment. The hospital where my son was taken after the birth, say is that since he was not born in that hospital THEY cannot issue a certificate of birth. I currently have a Lawyer, through the state of GA’s Legal Aid, however it has been six months and she has yet to do anything. She say’s is a unique situation and she is unsure of what legal process to go through. My life as well as my son’s life has been put on hold because of this issue. He has several medical problems that need attention, but without his Birth Certificate and SSN it is extremely difficult for him to receive the necessary surgeries needed. I would just like to know exactly what steps I need to take or do in order to settle this whole ordeal. Thanks/.

    Get a different attorney. You are going to probably need to do a DNA test to establish maternity (they want to ensure you didn't kidnap or find the baby, or illegally "adopted" him).

    Contact the county clerk and ask what is necessary for issuing a birth certificate in this instance. If you don't get any answer, I would try contacting a local politician or media and enlist their help.
