The question of adopting their own daughter very often arises before those fathers who did not manage to register their relationship with the baby's mother at the time of her birth. You can adopt your own daughter immediately after her birth and even some time after this joyful event.
Instructions
Step 1
The first step towards adopting your own daughter is to apply for paternity directly to the civil registry office. Moreover, an application for adoption should be written not only by you, but also by the baby's mother.
Step 2
If the whereabouts of your daughter's mother have not been established, the woman has been declared incapacitated, deprived of parental rights, or she has died, you can submit an application to the registry office to establish paternity on your own. But before you do this, do not forget to get approval for adoption from the guardianship and guardianship authorities.
Step 3
You can apply for the establishment of paternity either before the registration of the baby, or after it. If before the birth of your daughter it becomes clear that further joint application for adoption will be difficult or impossible, contact the registry office before the birth of the girl. Attach a certificate confirming the woman's pregnancy to the written application. You can get this document from the medical organization in which the expectant mother is being monitored. Establishment of paternity in this case is carried out on the basis of the submitted application when issuing a birth certificate for your daughter.
Step 4
If you or the baby's mother cannot be present at the registry office during the filing of an application for establishing paternity in person, certify the signature of the absent parent with a notary.
Step 5
If the mother of your child is already officially married to another man, in order to adopt her own daughter, in addition to the statement about establishing paternity, the registry office must submit a statement written by her husband that he is not the father of the baby born to him wives.
Step 6
In the event that you decide to marry the mother of your daughter, the adoption will take place automatically. And the corresponding changes will be made to the baby's birth certificate.
