Dad fights for son taken to Brazil - World news - MSNBC.com Sean Goldman - International Child Abduction - BringSeanHome.org Quote:

It is like a nightmare for David Goldman, except that when he wakes up, it is still there. His son Sean, abducted to Brazil by the boy’s mother four years ago, remains almost in sight but always out of reach, in defiance of the laws of two nations and the world..............Soon after our arrival in Sao Paulo, we learned that Bruna's Brazilian husband did not file for custody of Sean. Instead, he filed to replace me (his biological father) on a birth certificate issued for Sean in Brazil.

Two points...
(1) the Brazilian government issued a birth certificate for a four year old child of American origin.
(2) evidently the courts in Brazil have the power to change the name of the biological father on the BC at the stroke of a pen.
So what good are birth certificates?
