Doesn't matter what you like, need to follow the Thai rules.

Yes it would make it much easier. There may be issues with the child's father not allowing him to be taken out of Thailand (depending on any custody agreements). But adoption is the best route.

The best advice is if you want to stay in Thailand long term, get a proper visa. If you do not have the finances or qualifications for a long term visa, then Thailand is not the answer for you. Sooner of later you will run out of options and immigration will get suspicious.

Why ask the same people you are complaining about instead of looking it up on the official Thai Visa webpage?

Contact your state representative or senator and advise them of your issue. They can make things happen with one call.

In Thailand, background checks are primarily related to obtaining a Police Clearance Certificate, which is often required for visa applications, employment, and other official purposes. Very common.
