These people have gone and changed the birth certificates of 5 girls to say that they are the natural mother and father. We have the orginal birth records from the hospital. Now thanks to these people these five girls will never know their real parents.

Yes, I was able to change my complete name when I was adopted at 14 yrs old. My old birth certificate is sealed away, and my new one shows everything my original one did except the mother and father's names are my new parents. The old one can be still gotten.
Remember, the original isn't being altered in any way shape or form, it is merely being locked away in a vault. They make a copy of it for the new one, and put all their stamps etc. on it. There is no way Vital statistics would ever actually alter an original document. They just seal it away.
If these 5 kids lose out because they won't know who their real mom and dad are, maybe they will make up for that terrible loss by having decent adoptive parents who are actually there for them. The girls will look up their natural parents someday. So hopefully those parents that lost them will be ready and waiting with open arms.

"These people" apparently have legally adopted five children. Therefore, the birth certificate will be changed in order to show who their parents are.
We adopted two children at birth. Once the adoption was finalized, we received a new birth certificate with our names listed as mother and father. WE are their real parents. But we are in an open adoption with their biological parents.
Just because our children's biological parents aren't listed on the birth certificate doesn't mean they will never know who they are.

I was adopted. And whenever i ask for my legal birth certificate, an original, it does have my legal adoptive parents names on it. I think this is because it was a closed adoption. The only way it would be different, i think, is if the child were adopted long after they were born. I was adopted when i was 3 days old, so it just has my adoptive parents listed as the mother and father.

EXCUSE ME?? this is exactly what adoption does. And it always has been that original birth certificates are amended, in the event of an adoption.
Either the parents consented to the children being adopted.. or their parental rights were terminated by a court of law. The question is not what "these" people did, but what happened in order for an adoption to occur.

well first why aren't their biological parent's raising them? second, you can change the birth certificate in most staes once the adoption has been finalized and legal. but a record of the original one will always be kept. it would be difficlut for the adoptive parents to get things such *** insurance, school records, etc...if their names are not the ones on the birth certificate. and as for them not knowing their "real" parents. real parent's are the ones that raise and care and teach these children, not the people who gave birth to them. the adoptive parents are not imaginary, they are their real parents. and with you not giving more info to the situation it's hard to understand what you are talking about.

My husband and I have adopted and "yes" we changed our sons birth certificate so that it states that WE are his "real" parents and it also has our last name on it. We still have his original birthcertificate with his biological mother's name on it and keep it safe with other keepsakes of his history.
We needed to have his birth certificate changed not only for personal reasons but for legal reasons. There are many times in our sons life that he will be required to provide his birth certificate. It will be much easier for him if it has the same last name on it that his social security card says rather than a completely different last name. THAT would be hard to explain!

There are three parties to think of here:
1) The adoptive parents who want desprately for their child to belong to them 100% and want their name on the birth certificate
2) The "real" parents who should have the right to anonymity
3) The children, who should have the right to know they are adopted, know their family history, and to eventually find their "real" parents should they ever want to look (yes I know this conflicts with #2)
But In my opinion, a birth certificate is a legal document that should never be changed...it should have all the correct information, regardless of any federal or state laws which allow them to be changed. (which i'm not aware of)
They should not be changed! Ever!

First talk on your attorney and get recommendations from him. He might desire to comprehend the State of Ohio regulations. that is going to value a multitude of money. you do not prefer to do a criminal call exchange. that is changing your final call, till you had to legally exchange your first call from Charles to Darren and so on. Your attorney could be waiting to tell to you what documentation you will possibly wish. solid luck.

if the girls were legally adopted by this family thru the courts, then yes, they have every right to fully change their names.
