adopting

[joebloggs]

we find that we are unable to to apply for dual Filipino/British citizenship for her and unless we go through a full adoption process in the Philippines, she will lose her Filipino citizenship completely.

shes still got her filipino passport ? how does the phil gov know she has changed her name by deed poll in the UK?

I thought about adopting my stepson, didnt bother, it was never a problem him having a different surname, he got ILR as a dependant of his mom, hes over 21 now, so he can live in the uk or the phils. no problems..
