Birth Certificate for Anna Nicole's Baby

TMZ has obtained a copy of the birth certificate for Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, Anna Nicole Smith's newborn baby daughter.
Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern's birth certificate
The certificate confirms that Anna Nicole may have left the U.S. permanently for bluer waters, listing the Bahamas as her permanent residence.

More significantly, the document lists her lawyer, Howard K. Stern as the father. Stern, who appeared on "Larry King Live" and proclaimed that he was the father, is in a war of words with Larry Birkhead, Anna Nicole's former boyfriend who claims he's the daddy. Birkhead has filed legal papers in Los Angeles, asking a judge to order a paternity test.

Interestingly, Anna Nicole chose to give the baby Stern's last name and the name Marshall as her middle name after Anna's late husband, billionaire J. Howard Marshall.

46. Betty (post #40), you're simply wrong. As many others have already stated here, the birth certificate is correct. Again:

Total No. of Children Born to Mother
(1) Alive - (including this birth

47. I am thinking back to the ANS show and I recall her constantly hugging, kissing, smothering Danny ALL THE TIME. I know it seems "out there", but this woman is a known druggie, alkie, and she LOVES attention. I remember seeing those pics of her and Danny after the baby was born, the way she was looking into Danny's eyes took me aback, sure she was happy, but it was more of a look of, oh, I don't know, it's just weird. I hope ANS gets her sh*t together and be a mother to that little girl and stop all this foolishness so we can ALL get on with it.

When she comes out of her stupor, someone needs to kidnap her dumb ass and put her in rehab! As for the commitment ceremony, she is still a widow, waiting very patiently for Marshall's money, that's why she didn't marry Howard, and she included his name to make it seem like she really cares about the Marshall name.

She's pathetic and a total loser.

48. You have to read carefully. It states number of children born to mother alive....(she had two born alive..Daniel, and her new daughter) Then it states numver of living at the time of the birth....(that would be just one...daniel...he was the only child living prior to his sisters birth). They state things very technically. When I had my children, each time they asked me how many pregnancies I have had. I said 2..she said so you had no miscarriages, abortions, etc? I said well yes, I did have a miscarriage...and she said then I had had 3 -pregnancies prior to my last one...but I only had 3 live births. Everything counts...so they are very direct on how they ask questions. Hope this helps.

49. So Birkhead's claim to fame is suing Ashley Judd to start his fourth rate career... and Anna, poor Train Wreck Anna, makes her money on her back (and front)... and then there's Daniel's unfortunate death... and then there's this new life born into the center of money-hungry, money-grubbing tasteless, classless people...

Everyone is always carping about Anna's family, her friends--- Anyone checked Birkhead's background? What's HIS family like? WHO are HIS friends? Who was his girlfriend BEFORE Anna? Has he ever had a "GIRL"friend before Anna? What do these people have to say about all this mess?

Isn't it interesting that no one in the press is saying ANYTHING about Birkhead's background other than he is a supposed "celebrity journalist?" What are the skeletons in HIS closet? I'm betting there's a HUGE turkey baster in Birkhead's stuffed in there...

50. I feel bad for anna's son i know a messed up parent messes up a child I speak from EXPERIENCE on both ends as the child and now the parent its a vicious cycle, and its not like its planned it just all seems to happen its when you just live for the day instead of the future when things get real messed up and if depression set in that family that explains the way things turned out it doesnt fix it for anyone but it does explain the drugs- self-mediacating and until anna is ready to straighten out her own life she will even without trying wreak havoc on everyone around her and as for the tiny new baby she better have a good NANNY while she is getting her head straight !
so i send out good wishes for the future cause just cause shes messing up now and in the past doesnt mean she will continue to forever ,some people stay the same and some change we dont know how daniels death will really affect her personality until more time has passed ANNA NICOLE probably feels like this:

STOP! The Planet I want to get off, Things have gotten a bit too Frighteningly Surreal and My Digestive System and Mind just cant take anymore.

52. By the way, you'd have to take an amount of methadone much higher than your usual dose to die, even with other meds. I'm taking methadone AND am a med student and know that it hardly ever kills anybody. On the other hand, anti-depressants have killed people before, and it usually happens on people who have been taking them for 4 to 6 weeks and are not familiar with their reaction to them. Some have even commited suicide, and taking a nice amount (as I said, much higher than your usual dose, say 300mgs) of methadone would do it, and it would do it the way he died: you slowly start nodding, and your heart stops.

53. Anna is not my all time favorite, but there is something about her that I find very interesting. Yes, she's showed it all, done it all, and blah blah!!! I have said this for many years and especially more so now, something happened in her childhood to turn her the way she is in life. Does anyone out there fall for Anna's mother? I DON'T! Why didn't she ever fight to see Daniel, if she was the perfect mother and grandmother wouldn't it had been simple? Anna left her family behind for some reason, but took Daniel a person that was so into herself would have a left Daniel behind. She was trying to protect him from something. And when she got to Hollywood "WELCOME TO THE DRUG CAPITAL OF THE RICH & FAMOUS" where anything goes, I think she fell in and escaped. Was Daniel the only child in the famous eye that fell into drugs? How many famous parents in the industry have had children addicted to drugs, alcohol, eating disorders, etc. And some of these parents, if we all think back several years weren't so out there like Anna! There were the great ones of Hollywood, and very well respected! Wonder what went out behind those closed doors and why didn't we ever blae their parents. What has Anna done that the rest of Hollywood hasn't done? She just never had the money or right people around her to cover it up! And she was not well educated. Gosh, look at Paris Hilton, her parents have to die of shame. And look at her background very well educated. I feel sorry for Anna, yes she's made her bed a thousand times, but she's human. And the Birkhead Team he partied right along with her and loved the attention. So in my opinion he's no different. He was along for the ride too. Does any of these women out here remember our bodies after birth ( and with so many years between Anna's children, this probably felt like her first again)? Shock, blues, happiness, postpartum, and c-sections aren't that great, despite what anyone says. You're laying in a hospital bed hormones are raging all these other emotions are kicking in and you find your first born beside you dead. They would have to sedate me also. And I honestly think at first it didn't hit her. I think she waited so long because she didn't have the money to give Daniel a proper burial. That's why so many pictures were sold. I don't care who her daughter belongs to, I don't think she deserves to lose two children. IF there are drugs then she should dry herself out and start fresh. I agree her behavior has been extremely out there, but geez leave her alone for awhile and let this whole mess work out without the tabloids. And this damn incest theory is this what happend to Anna as a child? I'm sick of all the bashing and the extremely sick comments about an innocent boy that died and an innocent girl that was born into this world. Anna is messed up, but sounds like there's people out there way worst then she ever thought about being!!!!

54. Char, your summary says it all. So true, all of it.

55. We'll see in the end...
will Larry still be willing to be the daddy if he's paid enough to "go away?"

That will be the true Solomon test. Offer him the child support without the child and see if he's a taker.

And, on the other side of the fence, see if Howard is willing to let Anna part with millions to make Larry go gently into the night.....

Both mens' intentions will be known and Dannielynn will, hopefully, be with the father who really wanted HER and not just the money that went along with her.

56. number #1, you need to look at the birth certificate more closely. it SAYS how many number of live births to this monther? total: TWO. how many children presently living? total: 1. DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH

57. I don't understand what the big deal is. Howard K. Stern is obviously the baby's daddy. Look at the picture for their ET interview. She's got his eyes for sure. The baby's first name was changed from Hannah when Daniel passed away as a namesake for her to carry on her son's memory through her daughter. What sicko thinks Daniel is the daddy? This is craziness. And he was not murdered already my god. The boy was on anti depressants and just didn't know it was deadly when mixed with methadone. Get a life and leave hers alone why don't you.

58. I believe by her acting so fast and needinly for another house due to the problems with this one in order to get residency is because she knows Howard is not the father of this baby and know's that she will have to give into larry birkhead and get the paternity done. I am just wondering what is so bad about larry birkhead that she dont want this done. I mean i havent heard of a reason yet as far as anything he might've done in the past to her. I hope that he will succeed in proving paternity and will be able to have something to do with his daughter.

59. Some of you might take into consideration this IS someones family you are so harshly speaking about. How would you feel if someone was talking this way about your "gold digger whore of a mother".

Some people in glass houses should not throw stones. Like, Love or Hate her....thats your opinion. But YOU dont know the whole story...only what you get from media. She isnt as "bad" a person as you make her out to be.

Its kinda like Britney being knocked for the mistakes she has made with her child. MILLIONS of parents make mistakes in raising their children....but you dont see all of those blasted on tv so you dont knock those people.

Ya'll need to get off your high horses & realize EVERYONE makes mistakes in life. I doubt there is a one of you here who can say that they have NEVER done ANYTHING wrong in life. I am not saying that everything she does is acceptable....but why should she be held to standards different from everyone else.

Posted at 12:44AM on Nov 19th 2006 by MG

60. She didn't have to list anything under 'Father'...she could have put 'unknown'..that leaves it open so that if the real father is proven, through DNA testing ( if THAT will EVER happen!), he can't go for permanent custody of the child. It's been done, and it works!!!
