After working with the Department of Human
Resources (DHR) for over a year, the final Rules and Regulations for
Vital Statistics were put into effect in February 1993. Georgia
Friends of Midwives, Georgia Midwifery Association and Childbirth
Alternatives Network worked very hard to assist the DHR in making the
new Rules and Regulations reasonable. If you are planning a homebirth
or you are a midwife working with parents planning a homebirth, it is
very important that you have the documentation listed below when you
go to your county registrar to obtain a birth certificate. Without
this information, the parents will only be able to obtain a birth
certificate through court order. If you have difficulty, after
presenting the required documentation, please contact Debbie Pulley at
(770) 381-2339. Debbie is the liaison for Vital Records working with
parents and Registrars to get the birth certificate completed. |
