I had wondered that myself. I think in some locations it might be easier to pass a child off to someone with less official paperwork. Sometimes, I have wondered about delayed birth certificate and why the birth was recorded later.
I am aware of people going to the doctor/hospital with an assumed name or using a different persons name. A birth that happened at home would not necessarily have been recorded at the time of birth. I could see how it would be easy to create new parents on a delayed certificate.
I believe looking at the DNA might give us the answer that we are seeking though.

Birth records were sometimes adulterated when an adoption occurred. Pennsylvania adoption records are sealed. Have you tried DNA?
