Her mum says she has been 'nonstop crying' since
A young Nottinghamshire couple say their baby girl is legally a boy after the wrong sex was mistakenly put on her birth certificate. Ewan Murray and Grace Bingham say they have been unable to amend the "devastating" error on five-week-old Lilah's records despite getting in touch with national registration bosses.
Her partner Mr Murray, 21, said the only suggested fix was to put a note at the bottom of the certificate saying 'male changed to female'. “I don’t think it’s good enough," said the Tesco shift leader. The mistake occurred when the new parents went to register Lilah's birth at Sutton-in-Ashfield Registration Office on Wednesday, November 13. “They ask a lot of questions but never the child’s gender because they’re given to them by the hospital notes on the screen," explained Mr Murray.
The couple, from Kirkby-in-Ashfield, have since tried contacting Nottinghamshire Register Offices and the General Register Office to no avail. “At the moment our five-week-old daughter is, according to the government, a male," said Mr Murray.
