Does the new adoptive father then get his name on the birth certificate as if he had been there the year and date the child is born (conceived)?

Why change the facts of the original certificate? Can you just add an adoptive parent to an existing birth certificate?

It's not the same as an adoption certificate.

*confused*

I can only speak from my experience. When we adopted our daughter, and after all legal requirements were completed, a new birth certificate was issued from the state where she was born (which was not the state we resided in) and we were listed as the parents.
