Really?

We haven't finalized yet, and I thought that when we did, we would go that same day to get his social security number...now I realize, we wouldn't have his birth certificate either. Does the finalization paperwork work?

Should we get him a SS# now, so if we do finalize this year, we'll have it to file taxes with, or is the temp number only good till you finalize?

I have also heard about the other kind of number you can get for adopted children that someone else mentioned...ATF? ATN? Something like that...so you can file your taxes if you haven't gotten their social security numbers yet...
