International Adoptions and Errors with Birth Certificates
I interviewed a social worker from Santa Cruz, and asked her why there were errors with my birth certificate (the errors that I knew about, at the time). She told me that the agency does it that way. That when children are placed, there is a legal process first (laundering), include calling the child an orphan (even when they remember their parents, like I do), and then the new birth certificate is issued with the names of the adopted parents. I learned this, before 2009. I didn't comprehend it in it's entirety, until Q4 last year.
In Q1 of 2022, I had dinner with a business owner. He asked me again, what I wanted. We've had this talk before, several times, and I dislike repetition. I failed to grasp, that to him, we were talking about something different, and he wanted me to know; to figure it out.
I gave him a cookie cutter answer about family. Much of my work, is intellectual property, belonging to me, to a private equity client or employer, or government. I can only talk about some things, and only at certain times, depending on NDA & statute. And there are things, I'm well trained, never to talk about. Because privacy is the antithesis to rapport building, I switched to values display. I told him that I imagine myself, in a gorgeous home that I own, with fields of lavender, and that I look forward to getting married, and having two beautiful daughters, with my future husband.
He told me that I'd better start working on that. I looked at him, trying to decide if I wanted to be offended or not. I've done genetic and high-level performance testing. I know my health, my genes, and the length of time, that I have. I told him this. He told me, that my scale was off, and that I was half a decade, behind, with the calculations. I looked at him. He repeated it again. This was now, the third interaction, and fifth time, he'd said the same thing.
He was talking about international adoption. The agencies, can draft birth certificates, and state different year of birth, if the child is called an orphan, even if the whole thing is a racket.
