	She must have been re registered under your surname at the time but I think you are just given a document by the Court with her adopted name on it ??

	Hi Catherine Your daughter will be found in the Birth index under the name you registered her in. This is called her original birth certificate. The birth certificate will be amended and the word 'Adopted' written in one of the columns. After a child has been adopted they are then placed on the 'Adopted Children Register' in their adoptive name. You can purchase Adoption certificates online through the GRO website. Hope this helps. Cheers Gerry

	You would have recived an amended certificate if it was a formal adoption which you both had to sign for the court,,as part of the process,
