Dependants and Medical Question?

My dad recently obtained custody of my half sister (no relation to my father). She has lived with him since she was 4 years old now 9.
We were hoping to put her on his medical, however the medical administrator wrote back saying we would need to have paperwork that shows that he is planning to adopt her in the future.
What kind of paperwork can I get that would show the medical administrator that he is planning to adopt?
Answers:
He needs formal custodial paperwork. (Which is less than adoption, but is pre paperwork that the birth parent must sign.) An attorney can help with this.

By the way, he will need this custodian paperwork to enroll her in school, to be able to authorize medical care in case of emergency, etc.

He reallyh needs to get on this pronto so he can make the decisions he needs for this childs welfare.

Your dad sounds like a great guy, by the way.
A copy of a completed adoption application, or a letter from an attorney stating that he has inquired about or is proceding with adoption procedings will work.
you or your dad need papers saying that he has legal coustody of your half sister.and papers saying that he really adopted he also leagally too.good luck!
