Health Insurance and your Adopted Child

It is nearing a month since we brought Elana home.  We still do not have insurance.  Usually, Angie has it set up as soon as we get home.  This time has been a real headache.  She sent in her information.  The departments have screwed it up.  They first claimed they needed citizenship papers.  Then they put both her Chinese name in and her English name.  They thought she was two different people.  Now, they want her social security number.  We should get it soon, but they don't require this from people giving birth to a child.  I know they don't come out with a social security card in their hand.  Maybe they do, I'll have to ask my mom.
