Hi Jobday.

You really shouldn't need an agent.

I brought over my 2 stepchildren, but it was quite a few years ago now, so I'm not up to date with the latest regs.

You will certainly need to demonstrate (with proof) that she has indeed been DEPENDENT upon you and your partner...on a continuous basis while she's been in the Phils.

What is the situation with the child's biological father ? He will probably need to be consulted.

Someone will be along soon with accurate advice and web links for you.

Oh, and I'm assuming the child is less than 18 years old of course.
