Hi Atty. May kaibigan po akong naka kulong ngayon dahil sa drugs. Naiwan po sa akin ang kanyang 3 yr old son. Hndi rin po gusto kupkupin ng kamag anak. Walang asawa ung kaibigan ko at wlang ama sa birth certificate ang bata. Pag binigay ko po ba sa dswd ang bata ay pwede nila ito ipa ampon kung kanino lang? Ma tayanggalan po ba ng karapatan ang ina sa bata dahil sa kaso niya? Salamat po.

Hindi mo na kayang arugain ang bata? kaya tinatanong mo kung puedeng ibigay ang bata sa DSWD? Para sila ang kumupkop? Ganoon ba?

Ganito kasi iyon. Hindi naman basta-basta na lamang tatanggapin ng DSWD ang bata. They have to check first kung ang mga sinasabi mo nga ay totoo. Tapos, hahanapin nila ang ina at ama ng bata para malaman kung sila ay may kapasidad na alagaan at palakahin ito. Kung hindi, titignan kung may kamag-anak na willing at able na kupkupin ang bata.

Kung wala, aalamin nila kung ang ina ay payag na i-give up ang kanyang parental rights sa bata. Ang bata ay puedeng i-declare na "abandoned" ito ay gagawin sa husgado. pagkatapos nito, saka pa lamang puedeng isama sa "pool" ang bata para mai-match sa mga taong nag-a-apply na mag-ampon ng bata.

Para matahimik ka, magtanong ka sa DSWD.

Thank you atty. Contrary to that, ok lang naman po na nasaakin ang bata basta legal po ang lahat. Sabihin natin napatunayan na po ng nag iimbestiga ang lahat ng nakasaad. Malapit din naman po ako sa pamilya ng ina kaya masasabi ko po ang sitwasyon at detalye ng bata. Nais ko pong malaman kung may option pa ang ina kung sakaling ayaw nya ito ipaampon sa iba? Like isang ahensya na pwedeng iwanan ang bata hanggang sya ay makalaya?
