    Oh wow, I've never thought about that. I assumed they listed all children, regardless of the father. That's really going to stir emotions for me if my 3 previous children do not appear on my baking bubbas

    I'm surprised aswell... when R was born we had to list all her siblings (DH's children) on the paperwork but then had to tick the box that said we DONT want them on the certifcate. had we not ticked the box they all would have been.
    I can understand why you would be upset. maybe check with births,deaths and marriages to see if they will be on your next bubs.

    Maybe it depends on the state but Vic is definitely other children of the parents relationship. My brother is my half brother and he never appeared on mine. We didn't know as kids and I only ever had an extract of entry as that doesn't show the other kids on it

    In QLD it says "previous children of this relationship" also which meant we couldn't include DD1 I know what you mean, it does suck. They are sisters. It feels odd to think of them in any other way.

    I would look into it - if there is an error on it they will correct it and send you a new one. On DS1's certificate they spelt our address wrong and had my age wrong, so I called them to explain and I had to send it back and they sent a new one out.
