Legal Question in Family Law in Philippines
My wife and I were asked to raise an child after the child's father unexpectedly passed away, prior to the child's birth. The birth mother never got a birth certificate, and never bothered to legalize this. How can we obtain legal custody and adopt?

You have to resort to filing a petition for adoption in court. And for this purpose you need a counsel to initiate the petition. If you want to know more about adoption you can visit the TELL ME ABOUT page of my website www.philattorney.com.
