About this document
An adoption certificate is the civil registration document that records an adoption and establishes the legal parentage between the adopted person and their adoptive parents. In some countries it replaces the birth certificate for the adopted person. It usually gives their name after adoption, their date and place of birth, the identity of the adoptive parent or parents, and the date of the adoption order and the court that made it.
