What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
I live in Indianapolis, IN. About 15 years ago I was adopted. Some how the courts didn't process the adoptions all the way, because I received a new birth certificate but not a new social security number.
My adoptive father has recently denied me in front of his entire family. Because the adoption never got to the social security, I was wondering if I could have the birth certificate changed back to my original name.
Also, this complication with two birth certificates and one social security card makes it hard for me to apply for college scholarships. All my school life I have been under one last name, while my other information was on another last name.
Please help me. I don't want my adoptive fathers' last name any more. Do I need to have the adoption finished, or can I have it reversed?
