Actually the article referenced in this thread says:
"The answer is based on the Talmudic principle, zachin leadam shelo befanav, "we can act to someone's advantage even without their permission." (Ketubbot 11a) However, at the age of Bar/ Bat Mitzvah, the child has the right either to reaffirm or to protest the conversion. Many rabbis see the Bar/ Bat Mitzvah ceremony itself as a reaffirmation, thus giving it special significance for an adopted child."
