The New York Report of Adoption (to be completed and certified by the court) is a legal document that is filled out and signed by the court to certify the adoption of a child in New York. It includes information about the adoptive parents, the child being adopted, and the adoption process. It is an important document that is needed in order for the adoptive parents to obtain a birth certificate for the adopted child. The New York Report of Adoption also contains the official seal of the court, the signature of the judge, and the date of the adoption. There are two types of New York Report of Adoption (to be completed and certified by the court): the Certificate of Adoption and the Report of Adoption. The Certificate of Adoption is a shorter document that is usually used for adoptions that occur after the birth of the child. The Report of Adoption is a longer document that is usually used for adoptions that occur before the birth of the child.
