Help Stateless children achieve Thai citizenship

We have been working on many cases over the summer, but now are in a holding pattern for most of them, as all the paperwork has been submitted. We just submitted paperwork for another two teenage boys, younger siblings of some of our clients in our income generating program. Their ID cards should process more quickly as they have all their paperwork in order, but just had never turned it in to apply for their ID cards. We have around 5 cases that are just waiting on numbers to be assigned and several other cases that are being reviewed by the citizenship officers at the local level. 

We are regularly asked for advice from other families when we go to the various county offices and provide as much assistance as we can to each family. Some we are able to take on as clients, but some don't follow up with us to provide the necessary information, so we can't help them any further. We are hopeful that this will be the last generation who will need this assistance, as it is becoming far more common for people to have babies in hospitals that provide paperwork than having them as a home birth. Even those who have home births are registering more quickly at the government offices to get the proper paperwork to submit for their ID cards when the children reach age 7.
