We were blessed with a birth certificate. It helped validate it for us. I am so sorry you were not issued a birth certificate for your sweet Wyatt. You issue a death certificate after someone has passed away. You cannot die unless you first have lived. Your Wyatt was alive, just like all the other babies that are born sleeping. Just because they were not alive on the outside shouldn't matter. I am so sorry for your loss. I share your pain. We lost Julian on April 7, 2010. I will say a prayer for you and your family tonight. Maybe Wyatt and Julian will find each other and play up there a while.

My son gasped twice after he was born and never breathed on his own. His heart crashed (due the stress of a traumatic birth) and it took 15 minutes to revive him. For all intents and purposes, my son died in the ER. <br /><br />Yes he was "brought back" to us but he was braindead. No nothin'. Just a shell of his former active bouncy happy self in utero. So technically, he was born alive but never really "lived" outside the womb. (He died in my arms at 4 days 2 hours old.)<br /><br />I cannot tell you the grief and anguish and utter anger that welled up when I checked the mailbox and found his death certificate had arrived. 3 weeks later his birth certificate arrived, along with his medicare card. Those two mean more to me than any other pieces of paper with his name on it. My son's (brief) life is acknowledged by this government and that does me more good than his death being acknowledged. As he is entitled to dual citizenship by birth (I am american his father australian), in the near future I will submit his papers to the US Consulate down here in Oz and have his birth recognized as a "foreign birth abroad". This is bittersweet.<br /><br />A person's a person no matter how small. I wish you the best of luck in getting a birth certificate and am behind all the mothers whose babes have died and do not have this vital acknowledgement 1000%.Ausmerican Housewife - Creating with Kara Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16075297679140718497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2939758101896495471.post-51305372833369594142010-10-25T23:08:58.444-04:002010-10-25T23:08:58.444-04:00I am sharing this thank you for this Megan.I am sharing this thank you for this Megan.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15710038316098143052noreply@blogger.com
