I figure that the Corp would find out pretty quickly if they do a DNA
test on her, which I consider to be pretty standard procedure. I
don't recall if elves have different blood types as humans, but that
could be another area where they might find out. All in all I don't
think they stand much of a chance.
But you might want to have the Corp know and blackmail the parents
with that ("We know of your little deception and are very
disappointed in your lack of trust in the company. We could fire you
right now and expose your daughter, but on the other hand we do
need.... [insert nasty scenario] ).
