The child of two Hawaiian citizen/residents born in Hoboken, New Jersey while on vacation will as a matter of policy be listed on a Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth with a place of birth in Hawaii. The Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth for a foreign born adopted child is required to use the foreign location as the place of birth.
This is as I understand, the policy of the State. How is the state to determine whether or not a child is domestic or foreign born? I suspect it could have easily been gamed by an at home birth affidavit, for either Hawaii or claiming a Washington address.
