They are spending a lot of money for the opportunity to have a family. By all rights, they deserve to have their names listed on the birth certificate because they are, in the eyes of the law, the legal parents.
Biological lineage gets tossed out the window when a child gets adopted.
The adoptive parents can get a birth certificate listing them as the original parents.
