On the child's passport you would be indicated as the parent, so I can't see how they could ignore that. As it is, we are waiting for baby number two to start the adoption process (in Belgium), given that both sets of grandparents have to be interviewed. As that involves a lot of registered letters to the US, we thought it would be better to wait. My SO does travel with a document though that states that she is the guardian of my child. Simply issued at our town hall at no extra cost. Per definition it should not be a problem. On the child’s passport you would be indicated as the parent, so I can’t see how they could ignore that.
