What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? IL
Can we file & do the adoption in the State of Illionois without filing the case in the Philippines? Married 6 yrs now. Husband (US) wants to adopt wife's illigitimate son (Wife and son are both Philippine born and green card holders). Been supporting and looking after wife's son ever since he was 10 months old. Need advice, please....

If I understand you correctly this wouldn't be an international adoption. It would be an ordinary stepparent adoption since they are both legal residents of the US. Consult an adoption attorney.

Thank you kindly!

:) Spoke with my husband and we never did looked at it the way you were able to see our problem. Dear LdiJ, we deeply appreciate your response and we will consult an adoption lawyer. Again, thank you for letting us see in a different angle. :)
