We recently moved to Arlington and scheduled an appointment to register our son to attend school in…read moreArlington. We are a same sex couple who adopted an older a year ago. Prior to going to appointment to register our son, we had all required documentation needed (passport, birth certificate, naturalization certificate, and decided to also bring along the translated copy of adoption decree from our son's home country. While this was not needed, we didn't want to have any delay in registration. We were greeted at the Front Desk and we were directed to a room where we met with a lady named Sonja. She took all our documents and made copies to start a file for our son. Later on, we were told we needed to have the home country documentation be stamped by ARLINGTON COUNTY courthouse! (Keep in mind all our documents had both of our last names and also we provided a birth certificate with us listed as our son's legal guardians! Sonja insisted that her supervisor told her we had to get the translated adoption decree stamped by the Arlington County Courthouse! We asked her why and nowhere on the website told us we needed this! She insisted that we had to, gave us a list at the County Courthouse to contact. My partner goes to the Courthouse and was told to go to other departments since no one knew what to do. All said the birth certificate was enough proof that he was our son! At that point, my partner decided to go back to the school registration department and found out Sonja never showed any of the documentation we gave her to make copies of and the only documentation she showed the supervisor was the translated copy of the adoption decree which was never needed to register in the first place! Sonja also told us to come back once we have the documentation stamped by the County to see her today and guess what?! She was not there today. I expressed how horrible this experience has been! I asked the Director, " are you asking other parents with natural birth kids for an adoption decree? This experience left me feeling we were singled out because we are a sane sex couple. Do not have Sonja have with registration for your child! We took off work and also took our son out of school to register yesterday!
