Hi Joshua! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
My adopted son seems to have been frauded by his biological mother via the Change Healthcare data breach? Any thoughts as to how to get ahold of them when they are making this virtually impossible to find out where they got his incorrect address from? The address used was his mom's PO Box * and a half hours from here, and her boyfriend is * and my son is *, so he could easily pass as him
