We recently adopted a 5 year old girl from outside the US. We've no immediate family nearby, and felt that it would be nice if our daughter had "Godparents," although maybe not in the traditional sense. We chose 2 close friends - 2 individuals, not a couple.
The Godmother loves our little girl, and is very interested in her. She recently asked if I'd gotten a social security number for her. I said that we'd just applied (I needed to do so in order to enroll her on our health insurance plan). She then said she wants to open a bank account for our daughter, and needs the social security number.
Neither my husband nor I want to share our daughter's number with anyone. We also feel we should be the ones to open it for our daughter. Any suggestions on how we deal with Godmother, who takes things very personally? She has also bought several games for her for Christmas coming up, one of which I had wanted to give, as it was my own favorite game. Suggestions?
