Please read this before any internet detectives get on to try and prove me wrong. I have two things to say here. First, there is no possible way the Turtles and Karai are related. I know that. Second, I do have to disagree with the claim that Karai would have any legal status or papers as Oroku Saki's daughter (adopted or otherwise). Shredder aka Oroku Saki (yes, my Captain Obvious moment) said himself that he took Splinter's daughter away from him, thus meaning that he kidnapped her. That combined with his compulsive obsession with destroying Splinter (and the Turtles once he found out about them) probably would have kept him from doing anything legally, least of all writing up adoption papers.
