So one of my colleges is asking for the non custodial parent form, but the issue is I don’t have two parents. I was adopted at 14 months from Ukraine by a single parent who was never married. There is a father name on my birth certificate, but it’s a fake name since you are required to put a name there.
I checked the CSS Profile waiver, but that requires you to have a second “parent”. I’ve emailed the college about it last week but have yet to hear back. What should I do about it? Just leave it sitting in my to do and act like it doesn’t exist, or is it not an actual required thing if it does not apply to you?
Type out a short statements outlining your situation. It is no longer unusual for children to only have one parent.
Attach a copy of the adoption papers showing a single parent. Send those and a US birth certificate if you have one. Lots of papers.
Emails at this time of year can get lost. Call the school and talk to a real person.
