This was NEVER told to us for our first adoption, but thankfully the agent saw he was adopted from foster care on the adoption decree I brought and said, "Of course, let's get this done." I heard other people talk about checking the no box and I thought it didn't make sense. Then, for our second adoption, this info was provided to us by DCFS.

Hope that info helps someone, it sure helped us!

But my question is:
When you sign the form aren't you agreeing that this particular child NEVER had a SS#? Isn't that considered an offense if they do a search and find it by chance?
