Visit to Home Affairs on Wednesday 20th February 2013

With the Adoption Order in my hand and a signed form to change her surname and a signed form to change her forenames I headed to Home Affairs in Wynberg straight after school on Wednesday 20th of February 2013. On arrival one gets a number . . . Mine was 599 . . . and then an automated system calls you to a desk when your number comes up . . . Well I am still waiting for my number to come up!! So much for their system. After arriving at just after 3pm I was finally seen to at just after 5pm. Low and behold there were 3 other forms that I had to fill in that were not on their system . . . So a bit of a rush and R70 later the documaents have been submitted to have Sasha`s name issued on a new birth certificate reading Sasha (Defender of mankind) Alive (Hear my voice) Theunissen. The lady behind the counter said it could take up to 8 months to be ready!!
