What about cases like Obama's where the mother is still there and her new husband adopts him. This isn't the same case as the mother dropping off the kid at an orphanage. (I know my brother got new birth certificates for kids he and his wife adopted, but I don't know about his wife's kid from before their marriage).
We adopted our grandson, and I am now listed as his birth mother, my husband is his father, same date, same hospital same everything else. The old BC is now destroyed.
How about microfilm copies? Do they remove or at least mark out the original?
If Obama was adopted by Soetoro, there would be a Delayed Birth Registration due to a Legal Change of Status.
From Chapter 8, Section B-5B states, "The existing certificate and the evidence upon which the new certificate was based shall be sealed and placed in a special file. Such file shall not be subject to inspection except upon order of a court of competent jurisdiction or by the director of health".
In Obama’s case it would list his mother and his adoptive father as the parents.
I don’t know what they do with microfilm copies. All I was told was the old bc no longer exists.
