TBH, this seems much more generally useful to me than optimizing for the
case of bringing the family along as support for the same thing, which
seems like a fairly heavy lift for many likely IETF participants in
comparison.

The case of a nursing adoptive mother seems like a real corner case in the
sense that I am not aware of any countries the IETF is likely to ever go to
that would not recognize the nursing mother's parental rights.
