English translation:legally recognized/determined as child - see explanation
Explanation:
"estado de hijo" means that the person to be adopted was or is treated as a son or daughter by the adopting parent. Judges base their decision on this in adoption cases, among other things. A court must determine if there is "estado de hijo" through experts and officials. I would translate it as:
"when the person to be adopted/adoptee is legally recognized as child of the adopting parent"
"when it is legally determined that the adopting parent has treated the adoptee as a child of his own"
I do not know if there is an exact translation for this.

de facto child custody


Explanation:
I assume that a person who exercises de facto child custody would be considered a more suitable candidate for adoption than one who does not.
