Visa Process as someone who was adopted

Traveling as someone who was adopted

This might be a complicated question, but I was officially adopted at 22 by extended family who have raised me my entire life. I have an amended birth certificate, but appear on my birth parent’s tax records etc. I’m a US citizen by birth and was born & live in a sealed record state.

I’m moving to a country in the near future where if your parents are from a certain country, then you are under heavy scrutiny and there are lots of extra security measures for you to undergo.

Neither of my adopted parents are from that country, but my birth parents are. To avoid issues, I was planning on simply giving them the information that appears on my amended birth certificate without mentioning the adoption as I don’t think it’s relevant and my adopted parents are my parents.

Is this an okay thing to do? Or will I be technically lying and get flagged in some kind of visa verification process? I don’t really understand what to do and any insight would be great!

At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
