What is the name of your state? GA
My husband was adopted by his stepfather. Now 40 something years later doing some research we have discovered that some dates are not meshing. Neither mom, stepdad or biological dad dates coincide and none is willing to budge on their recollection of events. Is it possible that not only his name was changed but his actual birthdate. He was born in South Dakota and adopted in Minnesota.

Q: Can birth certificate information be changed at adoption?

A: Yes. Any document can be changed at any time.


But that is not really helpful.

What is it you really want to know?

Mother says she was 18 when she had him. Biological father says he was 15 1/2 when he got her pregnant. He is 64 now and she is 62 so he is older than her now but was not then? DOB was 1964 but if dad was really age he says he was then there is no way husband was born in 1964. he is just trying to track some details from his youth for some counseling he is in now and this is bothering him that the dates do not add up.
