writes:well, this is quite the tough question to ask random beings, but i am desperate for an answer i cant seem to find, let alone know where to start searching...Back to the question, i am 16, but i am a ward of the state (i dont have parents, i just have a guardian), and i was handed off to the guardian off the street, and im not sure where my biological mother resides.but my question is, i am 16, but the guardian made an assumption when i was in her care, that i was 14. i know this because i have spoken with my mother, and she has explained to me that i am 16, just as i believe, and the reason behind that. i have a disablement, i am not a dwarf,nor midget, but im not sure what it is called, i am an abnormally small woman, and i developed early in ocular visionary traits, but yet,i was just small. i am 16, 102 lbs, and 4'10, i have checked out the standard scale for the normal female anatomy, and with my size i am quite a few steps under normal features (height,weight,shoe size, hand measurements,ect..) and i am not sure how to prove that i am 16 to the woman i currently reside with, with out being mistaken for an insane person.. the problem with my real birth certificate.. is i mind as well be sand on a desert floor, and i am not sure where to find my original information, about myself.

 Actually in adoptive / foster situations it is much more difficult to get information. Also methods for getting birth certificates vary by state. In my state you have to apply to the state office of vital records, in the neighboring state you can go to the county health department.
Jeffs girl should probably work through the state department that is handling her case. She should have a social worker who can access all the important information for her. I would think that a judge would agree that she has a right to know her age.
I suspect that she needs to be 16 to get a drivers license. She would need a birth certificate, as well as a social security card to do that. No whether or not mom/guardian lets her drive is another question but having identity documents should only require a visit with her case worker.

 Your birth certificate can be obtained by contacting the county offices of the county you were born in. Request a copy, it normally runs around ten bucks.
