Speaking of getting their facts straight, perhaps you'd enjoy the results of a Yahoo search for Gov Hawaii sealed "birth certificate" before you conclude that the Gov. "hasn't sealed anything."
She hasn't. Unless you consider that all Hawaiian birth records and other vitial records are "sealed", in the sense of being unavailable to the general public. Birth Certificates can be sealed,even from the person themselves, by court order, and in the case of an adoption, usually are. In that case, it would take another court order to unseal them. But as far as anyone but a very short list of people getting access to anyones birth records, by law that takes a court order.
Read the State of Hawaii's own page on the matter.
The only people who can get a certified copy of a birth certificate are:
* the registrant (the person whom the record is concerned with);
* the registrant’s spouse;
* the registrant’s parent(s);
* a descendant of the registrant (e.g., a child or grandchild);
* a person having a common ancestor with the registrant (e.g., a sibling, grandparent, aunt/uncle, or cousin);
* a legal guardian of the registrant;
* a person or agency acting on behalf of the registrant; * a personal representative of the registrant’s estate;
* a person whose right to obtain a copy of the record is established by an order of a court of competent jurisdiction;
