Why would a birth certificate be issued for a seven-year-old foreign national being adopted by U.S. citizen parents?
In case he wants to run for POTUS in the future..
Acquaintances of ours adopted a kid from a Romanian orphanage. The kid seems nice enough, but he is very undersize for his age and is severely developmentally disabled. I’m sorry to say he’s damaged goods and is likely to remain so.
when we adopted our American sons here in the US they both received new birth certificates with their new names and our names as their parents...
From what I have read, Tennessee recognizes adoptions finalized in other countries. It’s recommended to go to court in TN for the purpose of name change and getting a new BC issued. One should have been issued in Russia upon the finalization of the adoption I think, but getting one in the US makes it easier for getting copies of it etc. and it will be in English.
I also don’t think you can go to court in TN till the child has been in your home for 6 months.
When you adopt a foriegn national, the state you are a resident in issues a birth certificate listing the adoptive parents in the “birth parents” block. It also lists the city and country of birth of the child.
The certificate will state that it is NOT proof of U.S. citizenship.
Birth certificate! Do I hear ‘birth certificate’?
