I don't know the laws in your state, but in Georgia there is a "back door" to adoption. The birth parents sign permanent legal custody of the child over to the "potential" adoptive parents. This does not have to be done in front of a judge. Lawyers and notaries can handle it. Then the Legal Guardians file to adopt their "legal ward". This does go before a judge, but the birth parents are no longer a part of the proceedings and neither is DFCS because it is a "relative" adoption.
Also, the legal guardians can move the proceedings to the county where they live, which may not be the county of the child's birth. So, if desired, the birthplace will also be changed on the newly issued birth certificate.
