Yes, they do have birth certificates.

So all Cambodian children have birth certificates or only half barangs?

I would expect all Cambo kids. The birth certificates are issued by the local Sangkat. They are signed and stamped. You need copies of them when you enroll in schools.

"So all Cambodian children have birth

UT's answer is spot on, although my two kid's
certificates came from Calmette but were verified by the Sangkat.

Even though Khmer society in general recognizes them as "halfbreeds" they are legally Khmer because of their mother and are entitled to all of the "privileges" of Khmer citizenship.

Only in this context, "half-breed" is typically seen as a Very Good Thing, not a disadvantage.

Sorry Stroppy, that hasn't been my kids' experience. All of those good qualities either have to do with having wealthy foreign fathers or else resembles that white cliche " they sure can sing and dance" about blacks. They're racist to the core.

^^ I feel sorry for my kids.

Odd - I wonder if that's regional. Our godson is seen as blessed for being mixed-race and when discussed on the Khmer side of the family, it seems having a mixed-race child is even seen as a good thing for a single mother.

I understand your sentiment, Yootee, but your kids are going to be fine contributing members of society. Honestly.

Well I certainly hope UT's kids will be but I hope the same for mine. What family says within family is window dressing. The only other question that comes to mind is will there be a society worth contributing to?
