How to process adoption of my nephew? Paano ang process ng pagampon sa aking pamangkin?

Gusto ko lang magtanong kung paano ang process ng pagampon sa aking pamangkin. His mom died giving birth of him. His father is my cousin. Since his a baby I took care all the financial support. Walang pakialam ang pinsan ko sa anak nya. May masama ding bisyo, kaya pati any mga gamit ng sarili nyang anak at isa-isang binebenta. Ang Lola ko and nagaalaga sa bata. May asawa ako pero wala pa akong sariling anak. Sundalo ako kaya hindi makauwi as pilipinas ng matagal. Is there any other way na maampon ko ang pamangkin ko at makuha ko sya papuntang America? 3 yrs old na sya ngayon.




Topic: How can I process adoption of my nephew? His mom died while giving birth to him. His father is my cousin. Ever since he was a baby, I took care of all the financial expenses. My cousin did not provide any support at all, because he has vices, that he even sells his son's things. My grandmother is taking care of my nephew. I have a husband but I do not have a child. I am a soldier, so I cannot stay in the Philippines for too long. Is there a way that I can adopt the child/my nephew, so that I can bring him to the United States? My nephew is now 3 years old.

Yes, puede mong ampunin ang bata. Iyon nga lang, dito sa Pilipinas mo siya aampunin. At dahil sa ikaw ay US Citizen o permanent legal resident na sa Amerika, na dating Pilipino citizen, kailangang dumaan kayo sa inter-country adoption.

Kailangan ninyo ng abogado dito sa Pilipinas. Kailangan mo din na kayong dalawa ng iyong asawa ang mag-ampon sa iyong pamangkin. kailangan ng consent ng both father at mother noong bata.

Tapos, ito ang mahirap. kailangan na ang social services diyan sa US ay mag-evaluate sa inyong buhay at sa inyong fitness to be parents. So, iyong report noong social services sa US ay ipapa-authenticate (red ribbon sa Embassy) dadalhin sa Pinas at isa-submit sa husgado.

Kailangan ninyo ng abogado sa Pinas.
