The Prosecutor’s Office of Padova (Italy) has asked a local court to remove any same-sex non-biological parent on birth certificates, denying same-sex families the right to State recognition.
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.

I thought birth certificates ALWAYS had only biological parents because it’s a medical document and has nothing to do with custody and guardianship?
That’s correct most places that understand judicial presedence, just not in countries run by idiots.
Sadly, most jurisdictions are run by idiots.
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.
