Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because it appears to be about adoption cases in the Republic of Ireland. These would not be the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
You could start a new petition if you would like to change the rules around provision of adoption certificates in England.
