Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I had no idea how many of my decisions as a parent in the very beginning of my children's lives, I would have to keep "dealing with" as they enter their adult years.....

But, if you homebirth...you will want to be aware of one of the things you may face later....you can read my story on my blog

"Born Outside a Medical Facility"   

It's just a heads-up!

ummm wow.. we'd have Church records too

But here's something interesting.. I've had children born in CA and AZ and OR.. On the birth certificates, CA and AZ show they were born at a residence (vs hospital or birthcenter) but OR does NOT.

Oh my! That is both funny and a little scary. If you don't do the "system" you don't qualify as a citizen?

Many places that need information like that will also take a copy of a family Bible stating when you were born or a notarized letter from someone at the birth. Our boys had no problem with getting passports, but my husband's grandmother had to use her aunt's testimony when she needed a passport.

You know...I kind of wondered if it had been a DIFFERENT person processing his passport...if it would have just gone through like it should have.

Unbelievable, Chari. I have so so many friends in CA who have had all their children via home birth, and I did it once myself. This is entirely ridiculous.
