The issue of adopting their own child most often arises before fathers who are not married to the child's mother at the time of his birth. The father may decide to establish paternity both at the time of the child's birth, and after, and even before that.
Instructions
Step 1
So, the first thing you should do is apply for the establishment of paternity. The application is submitted by the father and mother of the child, who are not married to each other, personally to the civil registry office.
If the mother is incapacitated, deprived of parental rights, there is no information about her whereabouts, and also in case of death, you apply yourself. In this case, first obtain the consent of the guardianship and guardianship authority.
Step 2
You can submit a joint application for establishing paternity both before and after the registration of the child. If, before the baby is born, it becomes clear that, for any reason, it may be difficult or impossible to jointly apply, apply while the mother is pregnant. Moreover, in this case, attach a document confirming pregnancy to the application. It can be issued by the medical organization in which the woman is observed, or by a private practitioner.
In this case, the establishment of paternity is carried out on the basis of this application when issuing a birth certificate.
Step 3
If for any reason you or the mother of the child cannot be present in person at the filing of the application, notarize the signature of the absent person.
Step 4
If the mother of the child is officially married to another person, attach a statement from her husband that he is not the father of the child born to his wife.
Step 5
If you decide to register your relationship with the child's mother through marriage, adoption will happen automatically if you agree. In this case, the corresponding changes will be made to the child's birth certificate.
Step 6
And finally, in any of the above options, pay for the state. fee for state registration of establishing paternity.
