The hand thing doesn't go unexplained. We see it in the flashback where his son dies. With such a young kid it just seems like the classic "a parent adores their child so much they just have to touch them" that happens all the time in real life.

How is the kid thing more unbelievable because the movie has face swapping and magnet prison technology. If anything it should be easier to believe that people adopt victims of trauma, especially when he has already had time to bond with the kid. Why aren't you complaining about why we don't get extra scenes of the people inventing the magnet boots instead of why we didn't see years of marital discussions about the finer details of having another kid.
