	Hi Emma, How are you? No its not that easy:O) You can order a copy of the original birth certificate, but for the adoption one you have to fill in all the details your name parents name etc etc, otherwise we would all be able to trace each other :O)) How far have you got in your search so far? e-mail me direct and I will see if I can suggest anything else.
