If he was entitled to citizenship at the time of his adoption, and his adoptive parents failed to file the paperwork, then he should be entitled to citizenship regardless of his age. There are certainly many ways to abuse the system, but I prefer to err on the side of good faith.

In a way that is what the parents did, how the girl at the end said her parent just believed common sense would prevail and even if there is a missing paper here and there, someone sitting across the desk will understand and fix the error eventually.
