When I was 7 months old,My Grandmother took guardianship of me. When doing so, she began to use her newly married last name on me. When I was 13 years old I was told that I had been adopted within the family. I went on to get a driver's license and all of the other usual things like Social Security card, etc and all were under the last name of my grandmother. As far as I was concerned, I was never anything but that last name. My first actual problem came post 911 when security tightened and we needed to have our birth certificate to fly.
Here's my dilemma: I am now 42 years old with the name I have ALWAYS gone by, including ALL IDs and such, with a Birth certificate that has a different name on it!
HOW DO I FIX THIS?
( My Birth Mother is still alive and I speak with her weekly)

I was told that there was no way to change my name due to the fact that there was no social security # associated with my birth name and yet there is one with my given name. I was told that as far as the law was concerned, there really was no person alive(my birth name), becuase there is not 1 shred of evidence to prove I (my birth name) existed. How do you change your name from one that legally never was?
