Hi Jennifer, Did a search of the new CA birth index. Chase is exactly 3 days younger than my son who turned 18 in March. He's probably a senior in high school and getting reading for graduation. Mine has his license and has already been solicited by the army and navy so I guess it's okay to share his listing from the birth index since he is considered of age for everything except alcohol consumption.
