It was adopted on July 2, 1776 after the Continental Congress made many changes in Jefferson's original draft. Once it was in acceptable form, it was verbally read into the journal of the Congress and a voice vote taken. That voice vote was the true adoption of the Declaration. The marked up draft then went to be written formally and enlarged. That was done and made ready by July 4, 1776. The new written document was compared to what had been written in the journal and adopted as the true version of what had been verbally approved on July 2. Only John Hancock and Charles thomson, Secretary of Congress, signed it on July 4, 1776. A new version was printed with most delegates signing on August 2, 1776.
