Lemaaseh, this is done implicitly.

a- Geirus is deOraisa, and therefore bar/bas mitzvah and assumotions --
it happens at two sa'aros.
b- if he changes his ming after acceptance, he's still a geir.

Therefore, the geirus is chal within tokh kedei dibur of the child
growing a 2nd hair. Impossible to detect.
==============================================
My understanding from R' Moshe's tshuvot is he has the right to
renunciate when he is told he is geir (perhaps you are assuming he was
told prior to bar mitzvah, I'm talking about where he isn't told he's
adopted till 20)
