We are adopting a kid that already went through a step parent adoption but his birth certificate wasn’t amended in new york city because they need proof of paternity even though the court had verified it prior to issuing the final step parent adoption oder. Now we want to adopt this kid and wonder if we will have hard time amending his birth certificate and if we absolute need the birth cerficate to be amended to reflect the step parent adoption before we proceed for our adoption.

I think since it is a legal document pertaining to your medical history because they always ask how many births you had when you deliver that you would be entitled to have it even if the adoption is final.
And should the adoptee have the same rights to know his or her medical history.
What are the reasons that Natural Mothers can’t get a Copy of the Original Birth Certificate?

so my mom had a baby and gave it up for adoption a long time ago straite out of the hospital and she had an open adoption, so she signed the birth certificate cause it didn’t matter,
now what happens in a closed adoption. is it the biological parents who sign it or the adopted? my mom says she thinks the biological parents do, and its closed off. if thats the case what happens in the future when the child would need a birth certificate for identification purposes? do they close of the original certificate so the adoption actually stays closed and then just get a new one with adopted parents signatures, or do the adopted parents just sign it at the hospital
