How can I include a dependent parent in my Greece Golden Visa application if I don’t have official adoption papers?

I grew up with a woman that adopted me but not in an official capacity as the laws in my country don’t allow for adoption, but she is my mother in every other way. Now the problem is, I want to apply for a golden visa in Greece and would love to be able to bring her with me, but not sure if this would be accepted. How can I do that?

    Unfortunately, the Greek Law recognizes as family members the biological parents of the applicant in order to be included in their residence permit application. On the other side, what kind of document could be provided by the official authorities of your country regarding your relationship with your stepmother?
