You can change the biological father/mother name in the birth certificate with the adoptive father/mother name as per new circular from CARA. Get a valid adoption deed executed from court and get it registered in the Sub registrar in your area. Submit an application to make correction in the Birth Certificate along with Form 1-A to the Birth Registrar in your place. Birth Registrar will make required correction as per the court order and provide you the new Birth Certificate
