Ako po ay 52 anyos, may asawa at 3 anak na pawang nasa tamang edad at titulado.


Gusto po naming maging legal na ang pag aampon sa aking apo sa pamangkin. # buwan pa lamang sya ng dumating sa aming buhay, inaruga at minahal. Ngayon po ay 12 anyos na sya. Bunso sa 6 na anak ng aking pamangkin. Ang kanyang ama an napatay 5 taon na ang nakakaraan at ang kanyang ina ay walang hanap buhay.


Nung simula ay ayaw nilang mag asawa na maging legal na ampunin namin pero nito pong nakaraang 2 taon ay napapayag din namin sya sa kahilingan na rin ng kanyang sariling anak na maging legal na namin syang ampunin. Maari po ba nyo kaming tulungan kung pano ang dapat gawin at gano po ba katagal ang proseso ng pag aampon?


Marami pong salamat.


Translation: I am 52 years old, married with 3 children, all of whom are of legal age now and professionals.

We would like to legally adopt the child of our niece/nephew. He/she was nly months old when we took care of her/him. The child is now 12 years old. He/she is the youngest of 6 children of our niece/nephew. His/her father died 5 yeras ago and his/her mother is unemployed, without source of income.

At first, the child's parents refused to let us legally adopt the child, but in the last 2 years, they have agreed, due also to the request of the child that he/she be legally adopted by us. How should we start the adoption process and what are the steps to take?

Ang adoption ay isang mahabang proceso. You will need a lawyer. kailangan kayong dumulog sa husgado upang mag-file ng Petition for Adoption. Dito ay dapat nakalakip ang isang Assessment mula sa DSWD na kayo nga ay may sapat na kakayahang suportahan ang bata physically (may edad na po kasi kayo), financially (malapit na po kayong mag-retiro) at emotionally.

Kailangan din pong pumirma ang magulang ng bata ng consent sa adoption. Marami pa pong mga dokumento ang inyong kailangan ilakip. Kailangan pa pong ang Petition ay i-publish. marami pong daraaanang proseso. Please see a lawyer who has experience in filing these types of cases. at kailangan po ninyo ng maraming pasensiya dahil sa ang mga family courts ay nag-uumapaw ang mga kasong dinidinig. Please consult a lawyer.
