This article critically examines the legal dimensions of identity rights foradopted children, with particular emphasis on the right to birth identification,registration, and access to original birth certificates. It explores howthese rights are frequently compromised, especially in contexts involvingstatelessness, displacement, or cross-border adoption, and assesses the profoundimplications for the child’s legal identity. Drawing on international legalinstruments, notably the United Nations Convention on the Rights of theChild (CRC) and its General Comments, the article highlights the persistentfailure of states to ensure effective implementation of identity rights protections.It argues that the absence of accurate and accessible birth registrationmechanisms not only undermines a child’s identity but also perpetuates legalinvisibility, hinders access to remedies, and exacerbates the marginalizationof vulnerable populations.
