Hi All, The short copy of the birth certificate is usually the one used by the parents of adopted children - our daughter is adopted, and although on original certificates is the name of the parent(s), on the shorter one they are not mentioned - her name is 'Claire Louise Adkinson' on the short certificate, which is far better, from our point of view and from hers! On the adoption certificate, though, are the names of the natural parent(s), and the adoptive parents, so there can be a paper trail to follow in later years! Just for the benefit of the genealogists amongst us, I suppose. Of course, she and her brother also have Baptismal certificates as well, and of course commemorative bobbins of their births .....
