§ 19-5-212 — Copies of order of adoption - to whom given

(1) If the court enters
an order of adoption, certified copies shall be given to the adopting parents, the
person or agency consenting to the adoption, and the state registrar.

(2) The court or the adopting parents or their legal representative shall send
to the state registrar an application for a birth certificate, signed by the adoptive
parents. The state registrar shall thereupon issue a new birth certificate to the
child, as provided in section 25-2-113, C.R.S.

(3) If the child was born outside of Colorado, copies of the order of adoption
and application for birth certificate shall be sent to the state registrar of the state
of birth and to the registrar of vital statistics in this state. If the application for a
birth certificate is denied by the state registrar in the state of birth, the adopting
parents may return to the registrar in this state and apply to him to issue a new
certificate of birth. The state registrar shall issue a birth certificate upon
satisfactory evidence that the adopting parents, after good-faith effort, were
unable to obtain a new certificate of birth from the state of birth.
