Adoption laws in India can be tricky, and the information on your Hyderabad birth certificate depends on when your adoption was finalized. If it happened after December 2015, your certificate should already show your adoptive parents' names! Current laws prioritize that.

If your adoption was finalized before December 2015, the certificate might show your biological parents. But there's good news! Telangana (where Hyderabad is) allows applying for a new birth certificate reflecting your adoptive parents.

To move forward, contact the Telangana Adoption Resource Authority (TARA) for details on getting a new certificate with your adoptive parents' information (if applicable) based on your adoption date. Their website or the Telangana Department of Women and Child Development website might also have resources.

Remember, keep your adoption decree handy and consider talking to an adoption lawyer for more help. This is a general guide, so always check with Telangana authorities for the latest procedures specific to your situation.
