I agree. I do know in most states when a child is adopted they are issues a new birth certificate and the adoptive parents names are on it and the original birth certificate is destroyed. I think for the child’s benefit your idea is a good one.

I did not know that. I think that, for the benefit of the child, the natural parents and adoptive parents should be separately specified.
