I would like to ask if anyone has any comments on how I can put my dad on my birth certficate without it costing a fortune. My mom and dad were never married. I do talk to both on a regular basis. And have met with my half siblings. I would like to add my dad on my certificate to finally have a feeling that I do belong and for future use. My dad was in the military and I can not get any information about his service record because his name is not listed on the birth certificate. And that is just one instance that it would be used. I am trying to do a family tree for my children and I am lost because I can not seem to get any information. I think it would make my life more complete to add my dad's name on the birth certificate and give me more of a feeling of belonging.
