You can do a private placement adoption. You will need to track down the child's birth records to prove he is her son and she has the right to give him up for adoption. Even without papers she must know where the child was born. There will be records in the hospital and county where he was born.

You may be able to avoid at this stage by requesting a guardianship. This will give you the ability to get documentation for the child and to insure them (generally). If you have more questions you can ask any time. Call me directly if you do.
