It's my understanding that whenever ANY child in the USA is adopted, that their original birth certificate is SEALED.

Sealed PERMANENTLY.

From that point on the NEW birth certificate with their legal adoption name becomes their 'REAL' birth certificate.

The original, pre-adoption BC is permanently sealed, by court order.

For information on Closed Record States and Open Record States see http://adoption.families.com/ (and start digging through the site). For more general information covering everything that can or will happen in adoptions in this country just do a Google.com or Wikipedia look up for “closed adoption” or “closed record” or “open adoption” or “open record”. You will be pleasantly surprised ~ by the fact that you gotta’ find the court that has jurisdiction ~ and I doubt Hawaii has jurisdiction.

You are correct. I have a niece that was adopted and her original is sealed, replaced by the new one.

Would that be true if he were adopted in Indonesia not the States?
