Yeah, Daisy, I think it's just to tie the birth certificate to your current name.
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That can't be done with the birth dates and middle names? I just don't get how a passport is not *the* document needed. It's got everything but proof of address.

hivemind - I have a printed alumni directory from my college. I no longer want. Should I shred it? That is a lot of addresses.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Feel-better~ma to Kathy. ID~ma to DJ. I went through something similar recently. I'd been coasting with my maiden name on SS while everything else had the married name. With the move and different state recs for DL and things, time to clear it up. Took about two months, but that was due to staff error.
Matt mentioned in another thread that Todd Holland and Scotch Ellis Loring were the featured couple in a story about surrogacy on Nightline last night, and linked to an article about it.
I know that tommyrot donated sperm so his sister and her wife could have kids. Does anyone know about a sister donating eggs to her gay brother and his husband or partner? I'm aware it's a more complicated procedure, but if gay couples are turning to a bank of anonymous egg donors, sibling egg donation seems as compassionate a thing to do as donating sperm to a lesbian couple.
Apologies if it's an indelicate question.

Eh, msbelle, addys are easy to find. Just toss it in recycling.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Today I went to one of the several cemeteries near where I work (in Mid-City), the Jewish cemetery. I was interested that there were some folks laid to rest there that originally hailed from Kingston, Jamaica. I cannot remember the surname now though. (too much work using up brain cells this afternoon I guess.)
I also went to the Katrina memorial and ate my lunch there. Is that sacrilegious? I wanted to eat it in one of the cemeteries but I didn't see any benches and I KNEW it wasn't cool to eat my lunch atop someone's coffin.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Beverly, there was a NYT Modern Love column a few months ago by a woman who had donated an egg for her brother and his partner -- or possibly she even carried the baby herself? I can't recall, and the NYT site isn't letting me into stuff I can usually access today, so I can't doublecheck. But if you can get to it, I'm fairly sure this story is the one I'm thinking of.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My New Orleans relatives were totally chill about stuff like that.

Because books.

And he wants the next one to be upside down! I'm not sure serving coffee in a place that would make a lot of people slightly nauseous is the smartest idea.
Where is he getting financing for that in this economy?
