Awesome story! Even has a WA connection. :)

Most of us know our family members. Good or bad, near or far, you can most likely call to mind your siblings. Perhaps you can call them on the phone or go for a visit.

How's everyone doing out there in OBC land? Anyone just get their OBC and need help with 'what next?' or anyone got any updates since they received their OBC?

Anyone else get their OBC this week? And was anything redacted on the birth cert? The new law has NOTHING in it about anything being redacted so we need to know what most people are seeing. Thanks!!
