where do i get help for my son, with no documents

[Mama5isalive]

hi we need some advice my son who we me and hubby have a SGO for has no legaloringinal documents and we are having problems now getting 1-passport for him ( born in another contry) birth mum not in contact due to safety and she is refusing to hand over documents in spite!although judge told her to
2 - obtaining the real details of his name & DOB. hertfordshire council have been NO help and now we are having to battle to get things rolling! has anyone got advice please!
desperate for a "family holiday" need help urgently!

With anSGO you should still have some SW support. They should have those details to enable you/them to get copies. I do this as part of my job but haven't done any from abroad.

Sorry just read 2. If you get thebasics( other name etc) you could try the consulate/ foreign office to help?

trust me sw have closed and atchived the file, i made contant and she asked me if i knew if they had his copy BC on file????????? how would i know that,he was born in a poorly developed country where alot of fraud goes on so he has so many different names and DOB differs!i have been told he needs to be naturalised! what i dont understand is why didnt the SW and HERTs deal with this before this would cause him so many problems when he is older he is 11 and i cant even get him a free bus pass!

If he is not yet naturalised it is likely that he will not be eligible for a British passport yet. You really need ss to explain to you what his immigration status is in the UK.

SS can't discharge a child on SGO. Don't need regular support but the point is to offer support when needed rather than adoption with no support long term

sorry tying on phone - saw spelling mistakes!
The boys dont have a regular SS anymore, and its a shame when i call have to go over everything to the duty SS, which get long doing it over and over, they say they will call back and never do! really feel like they have just "dumped and ran" we get money support but we need other support and dont know where to start! we took DSs together for didnt want them to be split have no prior info on any of this!
just got DSs and support was just gone! cant bear to think of leaving DSs behind!

"typing"

yes i will try on monday - thanks so much i wish i could just get some real help legally thats all i really need, its so hard when people dont know how we deal day to day!

You can use the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner site to find an accredited immigration adviser.

Thanks LVT - i will check out this website!

Hope you can find someobody with the expertise you need!

I am sure someone who has handled (say) international adoptions will have come across this lack of documentation problem before. If your child was born abroad and there's been no formal adoption there will be another set of questions/issues about his nationality and, again, they should be able to advise you.
