Janet....to answer your "how did I get it" question: I live and gave birth in Dallas, Texas. Early last year a retiring Judge agreed that if (a) all parties were over 21; (b) BOTH parties agreed, (b-parent and adult child; (c)proof of identity were provided, then for a mere $10.00 the b/c would be issued. My daughter and I had to go before a magistraste, provide the above and wait appox. 2 hours and we were given a copy of her original cert. Attached to it was a copy of her *altered cert.* which did indeed state that I was 19, married and a resident of California, and that she was my 3rd live birth...all false. The altered one contained her a-parents names and basically only gave her correct birthday, hospital, weight, and race. Had I seen a copy in another setting, I would not have known it pretained to my child; so I elected to have DNA testing which stated I was 99.0005% likely to be her mother......it cost $622.00 and took 7 days; basically I did that for her because the altered copy reinforced the lies she was told all of her life so she really didn't accept MY truth as truth. Hope I have answered you....Missy
