    • Birth Certificates

    When a child is adopted, a new birth certificate is issued. The clerk of the court typically sends the adoption order to the bureau or office that issues birth certificates. On receipt of the order, not only is a new birth certificate issued, any records relating to the children prior to the adoption are sealed.
