Changing SS numbers
I just want to echo the idea to change your adopted kids' SS numbers. I have done this with all our adopted children, both for safety issues and to prevent their birth families from using those old numbers fraudulently. The new number will be linked to the old number at the SS office, but the birth family will not have any access or way to get to the new number. I personally have seen parents renting apts. and trying to use their children's SS numbers in order to apply for utilities, etc. and then skip out on paying the bills later. This could also apply to credit cards.
