Back to the baby thing....
Morpheus talked in the first one about 'residual self-image'
If you believe you are pregnant then you will be pregnant.....the machines need a way to assimilate the 'crop' into the matrix right? So, what if they prepare the women by sending the electrical signal to the brain saying she's pregnant; the residual self image takes over making her look pregnant; then when she comes to term they simply 'implant' any old baby anywhere physically, but logically there together in the matrix....
Or why not just insert the babies.....and alter the memories of the parents and everyone else....Just the friends, families, doctors, anyone who would've come in contact with the mother...then they could fake all the physical evidence...(photos, baby albums, hospital visits...etc...)
Any "evidence" i.e. genetic markers; paternity testing and the like could all be manipulated using the matrix programming. If they can 'glitch' the program (brickwalls for windows......) then surely they can doctor a few records....
As for genetic material...what if every baby is exactly the same....what if they only look different in the construct of the matrix thanks to 'residual self image' Kids look like their parents because they think they should look like their parents.
the sad thing is....I've put quite a bit of thought into this......And I'm sure many more hours are to come....
