I have just obtained a birth certificate for a man born in Wales in 1949. The certificate is the normal layout and information but to the right of the last column (headed "Name entered after registration") are the words"Adopted Tom Parry Supt. Registrar". |

The birth registration entry has that added only *after* adoption when its been finalised by the court.then the local registering office is notified for it to be added in writing back then only the Superintendant can make that entry,. |

Thank you Kay. However, why is it thought necessary to add to a birth certificate that the person has been adopted? Surely a birth certificate is just official notice that a person has been born. Why add that he/she has been adopted? |

a relative of mine was born to a mother who was not married. The father column was left blank. When the mother subsequently married the man adopted the child and in the register the word adopted was added. This child has her original birth certificate and I have a copy of the amended one with adopted in the column. |

I would have thought one could adopt any minor child. |
