Gusto ko po sana ampunin ang pamangkin ko, may asawa po ako at walang anak..Namatay po kasi ang nanay niya (ate ko) 4 mos pa lang siya. 1 yo na po siya ngayon , ako din po ang nagaalaga at sumusuporta sa bata..

Di rin po kasal ang nanay at tatay niya, pero ang apelyido po ng tatay niya ang gamit ng pamangkin ko. Dumadalaw dalaw naman po ang tatay ng bata para magbigay ng gatas.


Tumira po siya dito sa amin ng ilang buwan para sa bata, dahil wala rin po siyang permanente na trabaho. 2 mos ago pinaalis siya ng nanay ko. Hindi rin po kasi sila magkasundo. Kaya dumadalaw dalaw lang po. Ano po ba ang mga legal na pwede ko gawin? Salamat po



Topic: I would like to adopt my nephew. I have a husband and a child. My sister (my nephew's mother) died when he was just 4 months old. My nephew is now 1 year old. I am the one taking care and supporting my nephew.

My nephew's parents were not married, but my nephew is using the surname of his father. His father visits him and buys milk for him. His father stayed with us for a few months, because he does not have permanent work. Two months ago, my mom asked him to leave, because they could not get along. So he is just visiting his son. What legal actions can we do?

Puedeng ampunin ang pamangkin. Iyon na nga lang, kailangan ng consent ng tatay noong bata. At sa panahong ito, kailangan din na dumaan ito sa husgado. Maraming proseso ito.

Kasi, pag nag-file kayo ng petition for adoption, uutusan pa ng husgado ang DSWD na magsagawa ng assessment at evaluation kung ikaw nga ba ay karapatdapat na maging parent noong pamangkin mo. Kailangan din na may consent ang iyong asawa (dapat anak din, pero wala naman kayong anak, sabi mo). Kailangan kayong dalawa ng iyong asawa ang mag-ampon sa pamangkin mo.

You need a lawyer. Sa kanya kayo makakahingi ng advise na specific sa iyong mga circumstances.
