Best Answer

In the United States it would not be legal. You haven't included any details about the relationship between the child and the unrelated adult who wouldn't be able to enroll the child in school or obtain medical treatment. That would set the stage for the adult and child to have to lie about the child's status. There is a concern that taking unofficial custody of an undocumented orphan could set the stage for child abuse. If and when the authorities are alerted, the Department of Child Services would take custody of the child and place her/him in foster care and the unrelated adult might be the subject of an investigation to determine why they didn't report the child's situation to the proper authorities.

The adult with whom the child is living should visit the probate court and petition for a legal guardianship. If possible they should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues.
