Has anyone married to a Vietnamese women with whom they had a child had the women refuse to cooperate in getting the child a Certificate of Birth Abroad ( American Father) because she thought the father would steal the child. Mine has done just that. Granted I do not need her cooperation to get the certificate. But in order for her to get my social security survivors benefits when I die the child must apply for a passport. If it were me and I were the mom I would certainly apply for the passport. The irony ohs I gave her no flak when she applied for his VNese birth certificate, and now it is I who have lost the child, Of course, I could not remain in the same house with my son, because I may steal him. So it is not her that lost a son, but me.
I trie to explain to her that it is similar to a birth certificate (BC)and you can not enter the USA with just a BC. Since 9/11 no one, no matter what their age can enter the USA w/o a passport. I had no desire nor any intensions of apply for a passport, and it take both parents to be present and apply for a child's passport.
Just curious if such crazy thinking is normal here. So now I return to America to never see the only child I ever fathered.
