§ 102645 Adoptive Birth Certificate Rules
This law says that when a child is adopted, a new birth certificate is made that looks just like a regular one, showing the child's name, the adoptive parents' names and ages, and the birth date and place, without saying the child was adopted.
A couple adopts a baby and wants a birth certificate for the baby.
The state gives them a new certificate that lists the baby's name, the couple's names and ages, and the baby's birth date and place, but it does not say the baby was adopted. If the couple asks, the certificate can also leave out the hospital name and the parents' race information.
