Jim,
Can you explain how the birth certificates are handled for cases like yours? I've been told there was some (relatively) recent case law regarding the acquisition of birth certificates for orphans but have never spoken with anybody that had first hand knowledge/experience with the subject.
And in cases like yours, what did your parents use for your birth certificate all these years?
I have a notarized certificate from the hospital where I was born.
It was signed by the administrator. My footprints are on the back. Otherwise there is no information at all.
A while after my birth, the State issued me a regular certificate with my adoptive parents names on the form.
Apparently, the original birth certificate was filled out with my biological mothers information and then sealed.
I was able to get the document unsealed very easily. The state also sent me the adoption certificate.
