Hi practice English welcome to the thread.
It is hard when you are adopted or fostered or brought up in
care for so many reasons.

Many official documents want to know the names of your parents
and dates of birth - passport applications for example.

My brother recently applied for a passport and he could not fill half of it
in. Also on his birth certificate his surname at birth is different to the name
he has used since he was a child. So he had to send off a file full of ID
to prove he was a British citizen even though he was born in the UK
and our mum was British and white. He also has a nice sun tan like me.
In the end the only thing they would accept was his service ID when he
was in the Royal Navy. If it hadn't been for that it would have taken
several months at least, for his passport application to be considered.

I should explain I was brought up by my aunt and he is several years older
than me and was brought up in a care home. We didn't even know each other
existed until I was around 5 and he was 14.

With so many official documents wanting proof of ID, it gets very hard and
embarrassing to people who are disassociated from there birth family.
