      On a BIRTH certificate? No! That will only lead to a lot of problems in the future for the unlucky kid. Imagine kid’s bio parents have some hereditary disease and without them on a BIRTH certificate doctors will never know. No. Just no.

          Exactly. When a family is going to travel and the only ID a young child has so far is their birth certificate not having the parents names on it presents some large problems. Imagine they are going through some form of security check, maybe at a border or maybe in a hospital after an injury, how does having someone other than parents names help? All that serves is to create a situation in which the family can be pulled apart. Even parents that got married but kept their own last names have this to consider when a child takes the dad’s last name but the mom wants to travel with her kids and they don’t share the same last name. Having the full form birth certificate identifies that everyone is who they say they are and supposed to be together.

          I think the term “birth certificate” needs to be renamed
