Having read this news at House of Representatives website, (here's the link) , I would like to know if the Philippine House Bill 5729 already enacted into law? As I would like to legalize my daughter's status by filing a petition for adoption as well as rectification of simulated birth which was done in 2014. If I am to push through, what is the likelihood that I'll be exposed to a lawsuit? how bad it would be and what should I prepare myself for? Also, may you please tell me the overall timeline of adoption process with similar case? I know it varies, but an approximate will suffice. That way, we can plan ahead specially with the costs involved.
Am not a lawyer, but here's what i think.. check with DSWD on the implementing rules and regulation of said bill. There are some laws that is not taking effect because of the lack of its IRR. Also DSWD must be the agency the courts will recognize for this issue. I hope this helps.
