Current or Original Birth Certificate of adopted child

[shanghai12 0]

I am a USC

I am applying for my wife who I married a year ago.

Her sister had died, 4 years ago, and my wife became

the legal custodian guardian of the both children.

She applied to adopt, and it has taken many years

for the court to approve.

The court has approved the adoption, and has

issued new birth certificates for both children, showing

my wife as the Mother, and the father as unknown.

My question is.

Can we just use the current birth certificate, and show

my wife as the Mother for the G-325a and I-130. Which is

exactly what the BC says.

Or must we use the biologicals mothers name, and biological

fathers name from the original birth certificate, and show all the

court records, etc to trace from their birth to their adoption.

Ideally we would just like to use the new BC and save

all of the trouble.

What should we do?

Use the adoption BC (which is the current LEGAL one)... If you use the other BC then there is no immediate family relationship to your wife and you and then child would not be able to immigrate

Thanks. I understand to use the New BC. I think my question was not clear.

I want to know if it is a good idea to just use the new BC, which shows

my wife as the mother.

Or use the new BC, PLUS tell the entire adoption story, and attach

copies of all the custody and court records, AND their original birth certificates.

I am concerned that only presenting the new BC may be considered an incomplete answer, but presenting

the entire story may be too much information.

Anyone have this situation? What did you do? How did it work out?
