Hi to one & all

[Terpe]

Hi just found this site, I've been here in Phil for nearly 4yrs. Recently got married to my lovely wife Rosemarie. Now the hard work starts trying to get 13a sorted out and trying to see how I can adopt my step daughter. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance

Hello Graham Brown, a warm welcome aboard Filipino UK

There's plenty of good information here for securing 13a and we have a number of regular members living in the Philippines who have been down that path and will help with any clarifications you need.

On the question of adopting your stepdaughter May I kindly suggest that your first step would be to review the Republic Act No.8552 - Rules and Policies on The Domestic Adoption of Filipino Children ??

Hope you'll enjoy our Forum and hopefully have time to share your experiences with us all

Hi Terpe,Thank you for the links have carefully read it.We went to the Lawyer today to ask legal advice about whats legally required for domestic adoption. Which explain to us is exactly they same as in the link you sent. Up to now we understand that my four adult children who are all in their 40's have to give a written consent affidavit that has to be notarized by the Philippines consulate in the UK which will forwarded on to us..
