Border crossing with children

Can I truly have only a copy of the child birth certificates to go in and out of Canada? Adults have passports and I'd rather not travel with original children birth certificates.

    I re-phrased my question to make it easier to understand. The adults have passports, the children do not. I will be bringing birth certificates for children.
