Weird, possibly nit-picky question?

When it changes the date, do you adjust a birthday for the time difference between where the person was born and where they are living?

Let's say where an adoptee was born, his or her day and time of birth was September 2, 2000 at 12:30 pm. But, where they end up living after they are adopted it is 13 hours earlier, so when they were born, it was September 1, 11:30 pm where they are currently living. Which should be considered the child's birthday? September 2, or September 1? What about on legal documents in the new country? Wouldn't September 2 technically be incorrect on legal documents in the new time zone?

These dates and times are made up, but this situation applies to my daughter. I've always considered her birthday the day it was in her country of birth and that's what's on legal documents even though, here, she's actually been whatever age she is turning for a day. But, I do take notice of and take a moment think of her at the exact time it would be here at the time of her birth.

Just a weird situation. I know it applies to lots of people, but I've never heard of anyone thinking anything of it. What do you think?
 
I didnt read your whole question i must admit, but no the childs birthday does not change. If she was born on spet 2 2000 at 1230pm it doesnt matter what time zone she is moving to she was born in that place at that time there is no changing that.
