He had to sign the paperwork for the passport, so I think that insinuated that he was okay with them potentially traveling outside of the US. But... the world has changed a lot in 3 years so that might mean nothing now.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875471817274069094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20459118.post-32244408090999518532010-01-17T09:22:23.577-08:002010-01-17T09:22:23.577-08:00I can't find a definitive answer but most of t...I can't find a definitive answer but most of the sites I've visited so far mention authorities at the border requiring a passport and a written and notarized letter from the absent parent stating that the travel is authorized. That's annoying but not terribly difficult to obtain. (It's also good to have friends that are notaries.) :) <br /><br />I've heard of creating new last names for the offspring by combining the two parents names. Henry would have ended up with Glynnroy or Gillynn. Hee hee. I thought it was the different last name aspect, which may mean further scrutiny at the border, but apparently it's the single parent thing they are careful about. Child abduction cases in nasty divorces are something I keep coming across. This requirement by many countries was to help curb that.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120883583219857456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20459118.post-64053774641585551992010-01-17T07:08:17.572-08:002010-01-17T07:08:17.572-08:00Woohoo - it's official!

I should think if you have his birth certificate, that would be sufficient proof since your name is on it. <br /><br />Interesting non-related note: I have acquaintances who are not close to either of their fathers, so they chose a completely random last name to give their daughter, which means that none of them have the same last name. I think, if I were them, I'd change the whole family's last name to be the name they gave their daughter.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14591016025566097464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20459118.post-49800990246848583652010-01-17T05:36:50.272-08:002010-01-17T05:36:50.272-08:00Ohhh... that sounds fun!Ohhh... that sounds fun!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12664179045428395525noreply@blogger.com
