Hi,

I just wanted to ask anyone who may have some advice or experience with adopting a stepchild.
My British husband adopted my daughter (8 years old) last year and it all went well. She has a British passport now. Does that mean my daughter has lost her Filipino citizenship and needs to reacquire it?

I (the mum) have just applied for my British citizenship and passport. Do we have to reacquire her citizenship before my British citizenship gets through? I do not know if it has any impact on my daughters situation.

Your help and advice are greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
