Reply #12: Actual birth parents (bio mother and father) should be on a birth certificate [View All]

Otherwise, a birth certificate is meaningless, imo. We no longer live in a time where folks try to hide the adoption of their child through fake, but legal, birth certificates. And if the bio father or mother are unknown, "unknown" should be put on the birth certificate. Children are not possessions and have a right to know who their biological parents are, imo. Then there should be another legally binding document stating who the legal parents are - whether it's a man and woman, two women, two men, one woman, or one man.

And I say this as a mother of bio and adopted children.
