I work at a hospital, and I have only ever heard of it happening once when a women left a baby at the hospital to give it up...here in Illinois if you want to give up your baby you can take it to a police station, fire station, or hospital and leave it with no questions asked. We took care of the baby in our nursery for the 2 week waiting period, the mother never came to claim, and the waiting foster-adoptive parents came and took their new baby. We could not put any information on the BC, and until the baby is adopted, which it probably will be, but if it never would be, there would be no parents listed. It's likely though that this baby would be adopted. One nurse who is considerably older than me told me that "back in the day" when mom's abandoned babies you weren't allowed to put a name on the BC until they were adopted, and even then sometimes not becuase it had to be a natural birth parent. So...hm.....why do you ask?

many single moms do not put the father's name on the birth certificate... however, they are not able to collect child support without the name on there unless the father takes a paternity test. but if the father wants nothing to do with the child, and the mom doesnt want him to have anything to do with the child, he does not have to be on the birth certificate.
as far as neither parent being on the birth certificate, i think that would only happen if the baby were abandoned.

I am talking about birth certificates of children not given up for adoption,abandoned. Since I have never dealt with that. There should at least have the mothers name. I know from personal experience in the case of my friend. She didn't know the fathers name so that was blank.

Good question.
It seems like a good thing though because if the child was adopted it wouldn't show the biological parents' names. Another case would be if a baby was found, the baby wouldn't have any parents listed.

My daughters was the same way and when I registered her for kindergarten they required me to get the full copy which I didn't even know existed. You need to call the number on the back of your certificate and send that one back and make a request for the original. That's what I did. Good luck.

I'm not sure, but I can tell you this: I was adopted and my birth certificate shows my adoptive parents' names. (I was born in 1973.) Maybe that's not always the case.

The father can wait up to 3 days to decide if he wants to sign it or to have the baby tested to see if it's his. So if only the mother signed the father did not want to take responsibility or he was unsure if the child was his.

Birth certificates always have the parents' names on them.

The names wouldn't be on it if the child was abandoned.
