Practice question
A child lived continuously with a couple from 2014 onward. They simulated the birth in 2015 for the child’s best interests and consistently treated the child as their own. In 2026 they seek the special administrative route, obtain the required legal-availability certification, and offer to comply with the remaining qualifications and safeguards. Which assessment is sound?
- These facts fit the pre-effectivity simulation and three-year pre-effectivity residence conditions, but approval still requires the remaining legal requirements
- Registration of the false record itself already completed adoption
- The couple needs only to privately erase the biological mother’s name
- The route is unavailable solely because the child has grown older
- Any registry employee must grant adoption immediately without review
