Ako po ay 14 years old na. Gusto po akong ampunin ng aking tito sa Canada. Ang mama ko po ay walang trabaho kaka-opera palang po niya. Ang aking papa naman po ay may iba ng pamilya sa Bahrain. Minsan nalang po kami sinusustentuhan, kung kelan niya gusto. Ang sumusuporta po nalang po sa amin ang aking lolo at lola na senior citizen na po ngayon, na siyang sinusutentuhan po ng tito ko sa canada pati na rin po kami.

Ano po ba ang proseso para po maampon po nila ako? Sana po matulungan niyo po ako maraming salamt po.


Translation: I am already 14 years old. My uncle in Canada wants to adopt me legally. My mother does not have work, and has just undergone surgery. My father, on the other hand, is in Bahrain with another family. He only supports me financially sometimes, when he wants to or feels like it. The only person/s who are supporting me are my grandfather and grandmother, both senior citizens now, who are in turn being supported by my uncle in Canada (who is also supporting me).

What is the legal process in order for my uncle to adopt me?

This is an inter-country adoption of a blood relative. Puede ito. Iyong nga lang, kailangang pumayag ang iyong ina at ang iyong ama na ang tito mo ay aampon sa iyo.

Dito sa Pinas mag-u-umpisa ng adoption. Tapos, ang social worker sa Canada ay mag gagawa ng assessment kung ang uncle mo nga ay maaaring mag-ampon sa iyo at may kakayanan na ikaw ay suportahan.

You need a lawyer for this. Your uncle must come home to the Philippines and file the adoption petition for you.
