Parents Alarmed by Birth Certificate Error for Daughter

Grace Bingham and Ewan Murray are facing a distressing situation after their newborn daughter, Lilah, was mistakenly registered as male on her birth certificate due to an error at the Sutton-in-Ashfield Registration Office. The couple, overwhelmed by the joys of first-time parenthood, failed to catch the mistake during the registration process, attributing their oversight to sleep deprivation. Despite multiple attempts to rectify the error by contacting national registration authorities, their efforts have been met with obstacles, including a proposed solution that simply notes the correction rather than issuing a new certificate. Bingham expressed her fears that this error could lead to serious implications for Lilah in the future, including potential misgendering in educational and employment settings. The couple feels wronged by the system and is determined to resolve the issue, which has left them emotionally devastated. They have also reached out to local MP Lee Anderson for assistance in correcting the record.
