Re: getting a birth certificate for adopted children

The only way to amend the birth certificate after being divested of your parental rights (necesaary for someone else to adopt your kids) is to divest the grandparents of thier parental rights and re adopt your own children.

I've never heard of it being done however.

Good Luck
