I'm saying that to formally adopt him and to formally grant citizenship, lots of paperwork would need to be done. Some of that would require lies, so although the baby might not have lied, the Kent's would have.

First thing with a child found without parents would be to call the police. They would look for identification or signs of the parents where found. Oh, spaceship!

I mean... I don't think the paperwork is going to account for spaceships. So... Put the spaceship in the barn, say you found him out in the field, and there's no fraud

Lies of omission don't count when you're dealing with the state

Doesn't mean the Kent's didn't lie, just that they might not have done anything fraudulently
