Help with creating membership record for recently adopted, accountable, unbaptized child?

A family in our ward wants membership records created for 3 adopted children who were just granted to them by a judge. The oldest is above the age of accountability. They also want the younger two children to be, essentially, children of record/born in the covenant. Obviously, the oldest needs to be baptized and confirmed and can receive his membership record. However, the younger two, I have no idea how this can be done, nor are there any checkboxes or questions about legal adoptees in LCR (Create new membership record) for this situation.

Can anyone in this group provide any direction before I begin calling Church Headquarters?

Thanks in advance!

Assuming the adoption is final (33.6.12), I'd think you should be able to create a "child of record" record.

But I don't think they're going to be able to be considered "Born in the Covenant" unless their biological parents were sealed.

You will need a filled out and signed permission form from the adoptive parents and it must be uploaded as part of the membership creation process, or you will be unable to create a child of record membership. The form can currently be found in LCR > Membership > Create Record (New Record) > (print) Blank Create Record Form (seven or younger). The Create Record (New Record) is where you will proceed to create the record after you have the parents signatures on the form. The system will prompt you at the end of entering the data to upload an electronic copy of the signed form. You will need a separate form for each child and creating a record is also a separate data entry task for each. A blessing of the children is not necessary to create a membership, although it can be done as well. Be careful not to create a duplicate membership if the blessing follows later.
