In the case of an adoption, the original birth certificate is sealed once the adoption is complete. A new birth certificate is created, with the names of the adoptive parents. This new certificate would be on file in the long form, as well as the short form. If the adopted child requests a copy of his/her long form birth certificate, they will get one with the adoptive parents names, not the biological parents. Even in this case, information on the long and short form BCs should be the same.

But the original long-form document (with original birth parents, signature, etc.) is preserved and kept on file. This document can still be accessed if necessary.
You are right that when an individual requests a BC from the state (the state where they were adopted) after they have been adopted, they will receive the ammended version of the BC. But this new ammended document does not provide the forensic information necessary to determine the natural-born status of a person. You would need to have the version that was signed and sealed as his/her original birth record.
