“I don’t buy the articles reasoning that they change the name on the original Birth certificate when a kid is adopted.”
Sorry I didn’t read your post carefully enough. Didn’t see that you said the “original” BC. No, as I said earlier, I think they issued a new, replacement one. But I’m pretty sure the original BC still existed, in the sealed birth/acoption file.
my sons were issued new birth certificates with their new names when we adopted them... all the info about the place of birth, date, etc., stayed the same... i don't know what has become of the originals...
