issue an adopted child a new birth certificate no matter what state born in.

The state of Ohio has refused to issue a new birth certificate to a boy whose parents are a same-sex couple and are not married. Now, a single person who is gay can adopt, and a single person who is straight can adopt. But an unmarried, same-sex couple, for some reason, can’t get a birth certificate for their adopted son. Because it is an adoption, a new certificate is required. Without it, he and his parents will have to carry a court order with them at all times to prove he is who he is and that his parents are who they say they are.
Larry has waited all of his 11 years for a “forever” family and he now has one, with two dads and a support system of dozens of men and women who adore him. This will not be a dream come true for this family due to Ohio's outrageous discriminatory action.
