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.

Adoption records are sealed by order of the court unless the involved parties have agreed to an "open adoption".

Can you adopt your wife's child if the biological father cannot be found and has not been in the child's life since he was 9 months old?

Unless the kid is, like, 10 months old, the biodad has abandoned the child. If his parental rights haven't already been severed, they should be, and that should open the door to your adopting the kid. Good luck. * The biological mother will have to file a petition in the state court in the city or county where she resides to have the father's parental rights terminated before the child is eligible for adoption. In such cases the court is generally agreeable, but such cases are judged on their individual merit. In most situations the petitioner will need to show the court that reasonable attempts to locate the biological parent have been made to obtain his or her consent for the adoption. Abandonment laws in most states do not address the issue of the adoption of a child based only on the issue of one or both parents not being present.

Do siblings have the right to visit after adoption?

The adoptive parents if they were to allow it, might also limit the amount of information you could tell the child (depending on the age of the child) such as if you can tell the child you are their sibling or if you can only be known as a friend.
