Adoption does not lead to automatic citizenship unless done under Australian law:
13 Citizenship by adoption
A person is an Australian citizen if the person is:
(a) adopted under a law in force in a State or Territory; and
(b) adopted by a person who is an Australian citizen at the time of the adoption or by 2 persons jointly at least one of whom is an Australian citizen at that time; and
(c) present in Australia as a permanent resident at that time.
