I was Hatched !
Welcome back!
I know that is an unusual way to start talking, or typing, but back in the 70’s I wanted to get an ID card and needed to get a copy of my birth certificate. I contacted the state where I was born, there was NO birth certificate registered for me. Not in my birth year, not in my name, not in the town where I was born, nothing.
My sister then said - you were hatched then? It has been a joke with us for quite some time. How many other people can say that they were hatched? Well, I have since discovered that the doctor did not send in the certificate the way he was supposed to.
I ended up filing for a ‘delayed certificate of birth’ in order to get the proof of my having been born, not hatched. There was a bunch of paperwork that had to be filed, verification from a relative (grandma) on an affidavit . All of the different types of paperwork were filed and voila I am no longer hatched.
