In most regions it is not LEGAL unless there is written documents attesting to the adoption. However, sometimes in various areas, for cases of custody and such, despite the lack of signed paperwork, if it is found that the caregiver is the one most responsible for a child, they can still obtain guardianship over a biological parent (If that answers the question...)
