I thought birth certificates ALWAYS had only biological parents because it’s a medical document and has nothing to do with custody and guardianship?
Not during adoptions either. The birth certificate has no mention of biological parents at least in the U.S. It's more of a legal document than medical document.
That's correct most places that understand judicial presedence, just not in countries run by idiots.
Sadly, most jurisdictions are run by idiots.
I don't think that's true, is it? What about in cases where one parent is unknown?
That logic would at least be pretty straightforward; mark the unknown parent as unknown.
