Thanks for this, did everything come through OK in the end, it seems a chaotic process.

Sorry about the delay in responding as we were away in the Philippines and just got back after 4 weeks.

We gave up on waiting for a new NBI clearance and fortunately my wife had an NBI clearance obtained just before she left the Philippines to start living here. This document was considered acceptable by the local authority adoption team (but i suspect this was because they were not familiar with what they were actually looking at!).

On the adoption that has now all gone through and we attend a celebratory hearing next week. My step daughter now shares the same surname as myself and my wife. However, there is a next step involved as the new birth certificate and adoption order paperwork has to be taken up to the Philippine embassy London to be sent on to the NBI. I will also need to update my step daughters dual passports, but i'm sure there is no real rush to complete these final tasks.

CONGRATULATIONS, Roland and family; so pleased everything went according to plan. Relish next week's celebratory hearing and good luck with each of the aforementioned final tasks.

Very well done and many congratulations to you all

Thanks lordna, I want to adopt my 15 year old step-son, however I was worried about whether the adoption in the UK would be accepted in the Philippines. I thought that some people had problems in this area. You obviously decided to go ahead, so I assume that there is no difficulty any more, so thank you.
