Overseas Adoption - British Family

Post by wilsont3 » Tue, 21 Jul 2009 9:54 am

Hi

We are a British Family living and working in Singapore and would like to adopt from either Singapore or overseas. We have tried to contact Adoption Agencies but have yet to find anyone who really seems to be able to help. Can anyone point us in the right direction or recommend a lawyer or agency that they trust. Thanks

My understanding is that you can only adopt a Singaporean child if you are British and living here, as the Singaporean Government will only let you adopt a child who is guaranteed a passport and UK doesn't guarantee that. If you adopt a local child, it is of course Singaporean so that isn't an issue. There are adoption support groups at SACAC at the American Club and the mother & baby place at Tanglin Mall, sorry can't remember the name of the place but it's near Tango book shop. You should be able to chat with other adopting parents and get some advice and info there. I have heard of Touch adoption agency at Bukit Merah but don't have any first hand knowledge.
