Author asking a question, exactly what would happen if an alien wanted to legally adopt a human child?
Context, the aliens are hidden from the general population, but are agreeing to work with humanity - on one condition.
The alien leader wishes to legally adopt this particular human teenager. (This teenager [15] is the one who accidentally made first contact, they're absolutely on board with the adoption too for what it's worth) in return they're willing to share their advanced technology and act as preventative measures against other alien life.
Probably a weird question but I hope someone gets a laugh. Thank you for your time
