So I got sent in this link (thanks A.C.) about a Vietnamese kid in the U.S. who came over here when he was around 14, got adopted by a family, and while everything was supposed to be handled via paperwork - apparently because the paperwork didn't actually get signed by someone until a little bit after his 16th birthday - they say this kid isn't legal anymore, really doesn't have any family, and might get deported back to Vietnam, during his senior year.
Now I'm not saying anything, because I know it happens all around - there's red tape everywhere and even if the lawyer says they'l get it, you have a responsibility to get it done - but I just have to wonder if this kid was I don't know, maybe from Sweden, this actually wouldn't be the story that it is - nor that it should be, because c'mon - paperwork filed, but because one signature didn't get on it (because of some dumbass lawyer) he's getting uprooted from his education and getting sent on back?
If you want here's the info I was sent on in about helping to keep the kid in the U.S.:
