Is your fiance the alien or the USC?

If your fiance is petitioner = Passport is enough

If your fiance is beneficiary = He need birth certificate for the interview

For the petitioner, a birth certificate or a passport will suffice. While technically a birth certificate is required for the beneficiary (and possibly adoption paperwork, in your case), sometimes it can get a bit difficult to get the birth certificate, as not every country issues one. Look for your beneficiary's country on the side bar of the below website and click on it. The chart shows which documents the State Department may require for your visa-type and where to obtain them, if you don't already have them. Not every country is Canada or the U.K; sometimes it's simply impossible for you to acquire a document that other countries might easily access. State Department lists which ones they expect you to have, and which ones may be unavailable. Depending on the record-keeping system and criminal justice system in your beneficiary's country, police certificates and birth certificates aren't always readily available, so other alternative documents will sometimes be allowed.
