How do you get a seal birth certificate, Unsealed?

My wife and I were working on a family tree for our kids. We know who here Mom and Dad are. But when her mom and Dad split, Mom got Married and the new dad adopted and had the birth certificate amended and seal, She can get a copy of the 2nd birth certificate but can not get a copy of the first. We understand why it was seal, but why can't she get the first copy. It is her birth certificate. Thanks and any help will be appreciated.How do you get a seal birth certificate, Unsealed?
Check with the County Courthouse or the Hospital where the 2nd certificate was sealed. See if they can give you any information. You will probably have to end up talking to Legal Aid or a Judge to see if there's any legal way to get this done without it costing an arm and a leg.



Or since you know who her Dad is, perhaps check with some of his side of the family. A close relative (sister) or someone might just have a copy in some papers lying around somewhere, or perhaps an old baby book or family Bible.
