Laura and Ella
Laura and daughter Ella

Lost birth certificate

Listen to the item

Laura is a hardworking, indefatigable, much loved and rather petite pillar of support to her partner, Craig and their children, 12 year old Ella and 6 year old Luke.

There's just one eensy weensy problem. To officialdom Laura simply doesn't exist and all because twelve years ago she lost her birth certificate.

For years and years and years and years Laura's been trying to get a replacement but so far zilch.

The trouble is that without a birth certificate -- as Laura will tell you - other certificates, documents and proofs of identity are well nigh impossible to get.
