Ako po ay may step father na Australian citizen. De facto relationship nya po ang biological mother ko. Kailangan ko po ng adoption compliance certificate. Siya na po ang tumayo bilang ama ko for 20 years. Mother ko po nakaka recieve ng pension sa kanya sa Australia dahil sa pagpanaw niya at may joint afidavit sila ng mother ko na since 1990 sya na po ang nag susuporta sa akin financially at nakatira kami sa isang bahay. Illigitimate po ako and tanong ko po saan ako kukuha nang adoption certificate at pwede ko bang gamitin ang family name nya? Medyo kasi maraming tao ang nagtataka pag nalalaman nila ang illegimate ako. Medyo parang me discrimination akong nararamdaman pag sinasabi kong illigitimate ako or walang middle name.
Translation: I have a stepfather who is an Australian citizen. My mother and my Australian stepfather had a de facto relationship (legally recognized domestic partner). My stepfather has stood as my father for 20 years.
Now my mother is receiving pension from him in Australia, because my stepfather is now deceased. They had made a joint afficavit since 1990 stating that my stepfather has been supporting me financially and we live in one house. So I am illegitimate child. My question is, where can I get an adoption compliance certificate? Can I use the surname of my stepfather? There are quite a lot of people who are wondering why I am illegitimate. I feel some discrimination when they say that I am illegitimate or that I do not have a middle name.
