Is a certificate of live birth the same as a birth certificate in Florida A friend may be adopted?
In Florida, a "certificate of live birth" is the original certificate completed at the time of the child's birth. It is prepared by the hospital and includes the signatures of at least one of the parents and usually the physician or another witness to the birth. Once the "certificate of live birth" has been completed, it is sent to the Florida Office of Vital Statistics, who files the document and issues certified copies when requested. When ordering a Florida birth certificate, you can ask for a "photocopy certificate" - which is an exact photocopy of the original "certificate of live birth". They can only be ordered from the state office in Jacksonville, since that is where the actual certificate is stored. A "Certification of Birth" also known as a "computer copy" is a document issued by the Florida Office of Vital Statistics that only includes some of the information from the original "certificate of live birth". It usually states only the name, sex, date of birth, place of birth, parents' names, and the state file number. These types of birth certificates are cheaper and can be purchased from any Vital Statistics office in the state of Florida (and each county has one). Now for adopted persons, the policy is different. When the child is born, their birth certificate is completed like normal. However, once the child is adopted, the state of Florida creates a NEW "certificate of live birth" that shows the child's adoptive name and the names of the adoptive parents. The original "certificate of live birth" containing the names of the original parents is "sealed", meaning that it is locked up and can never be opened again without a court order. So, when an adopted person orders a birth certificate - whether it's a "photocopy" ("certificate of live birth") or "computer copy" ("certification of birth"), it will only show the adoptive name of the child and the names of the adoptive parents.

Could an adopted child's birth certificate be changed so they would not be able to tell they were adopted?
Yes.When a child is legally adopted the child's original birth certificate is amended by court order.The birth certificate will then bear the surname of the adoptive parents and perhaps the child's first and middle name will also be changed.Adoption records are sealed by order of the court unless the involved parties have agreed to an "open adoption".More ContributionsYes it can, I'm adopted and my birth certificate has the names of my adoptive parents. AnswerYes it can, but the original birth statistics would be registered under Vital Statistics with the biological mother's name, but it may not show who the father is and some young unwed mother's may leave the space "father" blank or possibly even name another person as the father because they aren't sure who was the father. im adopted woppidi woop wah love santa Claus

Can anyone tell me how to get copies of a child's birth certificate before she was adopted. I am the biological father who gave up rights?
I would think the hospital where the child was born would be able to help you find a birth certificate. After a child is adopted I would not think they would be able to modify a birth certificate because it shows who the father is, and biologically that doesnt change regardless of who adopts the child. It would only show in adoption paperwork, but if the records are sealed then you best hire an Investigator.

Yes, if it is a second certificate issued for an adoption. The original birth certificate lists the biological parents -- if known. The state doesn't care how they feel about each other.
