Louisiana, I am presently living in Louisiana however I moved from Houston, Texas 10 months a go. I am in the process of adopting my 3 year old daughter. I brought her home from the hospital. She has lived with me all of her life. This is the problem. I have been unable to get a social security card for my child. She does not have a legal name. In the hospital the bio mother said she signed up for a social security card as well as putting her name on the birth certificate. She did not do either. Now she does not have a legal name and she does not have a social security number. I have not been have to get her into school or any thing of this nature. She will be 4 years old in June of 2006 and I am so afraid she will not be able to get into school and fall behind. I have been out of work for over a year. I started working again 3 weeks ago. I really don't have the financial means at this time for an attorney. I am a single parent living with my mother at this time.
Any advice and help would be welcomed.
Thanks,
Shelia
