pano mag adopt!

**crossback** · December 2nd, 2004 09:50 AM

guys,

would anyone know what are the legal requirements and the steps or procedures in adopting a child?

are there lawyers or family code experts in the house? or does anybody know of a site that extensively covers adoption? pa share naman po...

thanks!

it's a long process. you need to file a petition for adoption sa court then from there hearings will be scheduled............
