when we got here in England. me and hubby attended a seminar regarding adoption here in UK. In that seminar before you can adopt a child he/she should live with you for a minimum of 6 months. then the process will take about 3 months.
as far as I remember you will only have to pay between £120-£160... unlike when you adopt in PI
as of now me and hubby still thinking if he will adopt my son or just change his name through deed poll. I need to find and talk to my son's biological father first. because wether we like it or not the social workers that will handle our case need my ex approval. so, i might talk to him first before my hubby pursue on adopting my son.
