Adoption ( Please Help)

[capri_05]

Good day! I`m married to a Japanese for almost 4 years now but most of the time I stay in the Philippines with my 2 children (12 and 10 yrs old respectively) . Went through a legal proceedings in the Philippines for my annulment. I just would like to ask how can my husband adopt my 2 children BUT no plans of letting them stay here but instead continue their college degree in the Philippines?(but my children would probably come here fora vacation). Can he make the adoptions here in Japan? I would apprecaite it very much if u could answer some of my queries. Thank you very much and God Bless!!!!

Hello capri (buti di naging kapre, :D )

Subukan ko lang sagutin tanong mo ha.

how can my husband adopt my 2 children BUT no plans of letting them stay here but instead continue their college degree in the Philippines

Ang magiging basehan ng adoption ay RA 8043, Inter-country Adoption Law. As to how it can be done, you and your spouse have to submit the ff documents to the inter-country adoption board: child study, birth cert. & medical evaluation history. So kailangan mong makipag ugnayan sa DSWD.

Also make sure that you have this qualification: "He (your spouse) must be eligible to adopt under his nat'l law and has undergone the appropriate counseling from an accredited counselor xxxxxxxxx"

As to where to file the application, "xxxxx shal be filed either with the PHil. RTC (Reg. trial court) having jurisdiction of the prospective adoptive parents or with the Board in the country of the prospective adoptive parents."

Sa tingin ko ay di naman requirement na makisama sa 'yo ang mga bata after the adoption proceedings kasi sabi "in the case of a child who is voluntarily committed, the physical transfer of said child shall be made not earlier than six (6) months from the date of execution of the Deed of Voluntary Commitment by the child’s biological parent/s or guardian. Provided further, however, that this prohibition against physical transfer shall not apply to children being adopted by a relative nor to children with special medical conditions." So hindi applicable yung requirement ng physical transfer kasi ikaw naman ang biological parent.

Yan laang ang aking opinyon and what is theoretically provided. Mas maganda rin kung mag-intay ka ng input sa mga iba na may aktwal na experience tungkol dito. Also read the law relevant to your problem, RA 8043.

Sana nakatulong kahit papano. Gambatte!

Hello, Im also new here.. pero matagal na akong nagbabasa ng mga postings here.. I just want to share some in-post that might help your adoption query. Theres a similar case that I knew but her child is only 4 yrs. old then (try to apply pa rin).. Here some advices> Before the application, be sure that you must seek the consent of your in-laws (Japanese husband parents) kung buhay pa sila. Because the Court will summon them for the approval, kac the adoptive children to be will bear their surname at sa kanila manggagaling ang Joseki Tohon.. At this time, secondary lang ang husband mo. Secondly, the biological father will give consent and waive his right towards the children. Third, the foster father and the adoptive children must live under 1 roof for the period of more than 6 months that the Japan Law requires for "Supervision and Protection Welfare Test". Also you and your husband must establish a suitable environment, love and good moral grounds, and specially your husbands financial capacity to support and educate the children.. If I where you, you have to enroll your kids here in Tokyo and draft a Petition Letter to be filed at The Tokyo Family Court (Tokyo Kattei Saibansho) and no need for the advice and the assistance of the Lawyer para makatipid daw kayo. Kasi my friend did it herself. They did go directly to the court in good faith and honest intention. Remember this, the court will subdue do their own investigation, even house visits and house calls at anytime, while the case is under litigation according to her. So you and your husband must go directly to the court and they will give you an advisory and procedures on what documents to be secure first. Everything here in Japan naman ay step by step basta just provide all original documents... Wished You GOODLUCK!!

Thank you soooooooo much for the information that you all unselfishlessly gave me. You just don`t realize how I appreciate everything. It is indeed very hard to live in a foreign land wherein you only have a limited knowledge on everything, thus making my "morale" sink a little. Hats off to all TF members.

Hi.. may I know if the kids father is Japanese or Filipino? Also how old is the kid..Marami akong mga kaibigan na na adopt ang mga kids nila. but different cases.. In my case kasi.. my kid got a long term visa first and enrolled here in Japan while we processed the adoption (my kids father was Japanese). So he got real Japanese surname in his BC kahit di ako kasal. May acknowledgement at hanko ng father nya.
My other friends kid naman e sinunod sa surname nya nung maiden name pa nya. Kahit Japanese din ang tatay at di kasal. So Long term kaagad ang nabigay na visa sa bata.At ngayon nag aaral na rin dito.
My other friends kid naman is Filipino ang father, but very complicated ang nangyari kasi, the real Filipino father dont agree to get his daughter (kahit di sila kasal coz surname ng tatay ang dala ng bata) So after a long 5 yrs. pumayag din at binayaran na lang ng friend ko ang guy. (mukha daw talagang pera) Anyway, she first then apply the tourist visa of the kid and apply visa for change of status for long term. Then they go to the Kattei Saiban sho for sodan and they gave the requirements..

hi sis wolfgang,

papasukin muna niya ang bata sa sch.punta kayo ng
city hall ask niya dun kung saan pwedeng sch. pumasok
yung bata.kahit late na pwede pa ring pumasok ang bata.
at dun niyo rin malalaman ang mga proper way and documents
how to adopt the child.

then mag-enchou siya sa Immig.for the reason na dito mag aaral
yung bata.kaya dapat nilang bigyan ng long term visa ang bata.
dina mag-tatanong yung Immig. kung bakit dito mag aaral yung bata
dahil may karapatan yung bata mag-aral dito sa kadahilanang
ang ina niya ay dito na nakatira. bago kayo mag enchou unahin
niyo muna yung city hall dahil may mga documents na hihingiin sa
inyo ang Immig. kung talagang nag-aaral yung bata dito.

[tagarp]

Yes,tama po si @luccia.. i enroll muna po ang bata dito sa Japan, kahit Tourist visa pa ang bata, tatanggapin sya. (yung iba nga po kahit walang visa nakapag enroll)..then apply for the long term visa and the reason will be to go school and to stay with family.. Bibigyan sya kaagad.

[luvberry]

ah ganon ho ba dapat.. kasi ako yung kid ko is 2 1/2 pa lang at di pa sya nag aaral nung dinala ko dito sa Japan. at tsaka pa lang sya naenroll dito sa yochien nya nung 3 yrs. old. Then inapply na namin ang adoption nya then citizenship nya kelan lang.

[wolfgang]

Thank you po sa nag-reply ....yung anak po nang kaibigan ko ay anak sa Pinoy...pero apelyido nang kaibigan ko ang dala :tiphat: yun na lang po siguro ang gagawin..niya sasabihin ko po yon sa kanya mamaya...na i enroll na lang muna niya yung bata....SALAMAT PO NANG MARAMI..!!!!!!!!

hello gud evening po sau.. kwento ko lng ung naging experience ng friend ko.. kc kinuha nya dito anak nya as a long term visa as long as complete ang mga papers mo.. kc ung sa kanya di n kelangan ng consent ng biological father kc anak nman nya un sa pagkadalaga wala kasing pirma dun ang father sa birth certificate ng anak nya... nung kinuha nya anak nya that time nasa 6yrs old p lang... kaya cguro i think walang magiging problema sau... Good luck sau.. ako rn kasi kukunin ko dito anak ko, susundin ko advice ng friend ko!!!:p
