cross-dimensional adoption logistics
Googled: social security number, birth certificate, where are birth certificates kept, vital records, general practitioner birth certificate. Also looked through the adoption tag here.
I have a couple who have recently acquired a two-year-old boy who has absolutely no records whatsoever because he is from another dimension. For a long list of reasons, they have decided to keep him as their own (orphan, do not want him loose in the system and potentially adopted by somebody else, and sending him back would cause a bad situation). What would be the easiest/most legal way for them to arrange to get him all the things he needs to be a functioning US citizen when older? From what I can tell, faking an actual adoption would be more trouble than it's worth, so they would probably just want to say the kid is biologically theirs.
The couple already has a three-year-old daughter, and the woman is about a month pregnant. She can fake just about any documents and potentially sneak into anywhere they need, but would rather get as much of it done legally as possible. The husband has an older sister who has a medical license, but she would still have been a year shy of finishing her internship/residency to become a general practitioner at the time the boy would have supposedly been born.
I'm mostly looking for the paperwork end of things, because socially none of their friends are going to question "Look we adopted a kid :D".
