The Original Long Form BC in an adoption is sealed and archived by court order because it is legally voided. It can never be used for any legal or administrative matter, again.
Post-adoption, the adoptee is issued a valid COLB with a
“date filed” backdated to the date of the “date accepted” indicated on the Original Long Form BC. The only vital record as it pertains to the adoptee that is valid for use in a legal or administrative matter is the post-adoption “date filed” COLB.
In Obama’s case, the post-adoption COLB was sealed and archived by Court Order when BHO Sr. returned to Hawaii to complain he was not properly notified and did not consent to the Soetoro adoption. Consequently, the Soetoro COLB was sealed and archived by Court Order and a post-annulment COLB was issued to BHO II. The post-annulment COLB is the only vital record concerning Obama’s birth that is legally valid.
Hawaii Revised Statutes 338-20 (Adoption)
(e) The sealed documents may be opened by the department only by an order of a court of record or when requested in accordance with section 578-14.5 or 578-15. Upon receipt of a certified copy of a court order setting aside a decree of adoption, the department shall restore the original certificate to its original place in the files.
Sven, forgive me, I am lost. Are you saying the post annulment colb is the one he presented in April?
