Right as a father to an illegitimate child

Sir,

I-Consult ko lang po sana,

I just got married to my husband last nov. 2014 who had an Illegitimate child, naging ofw po ang mister ko nung 2 years old po yung bata at iniwan naman po ng nanay yung bata sa family ng mister ko right after. hindi po nagpapadala nor tumatawag yung nanay sa bata is it considered abandoned? and now po 8 years old na yung bata and kami po ng husband ko ang nagpapaaral sa knya. ngayon we are planning na dalhin yung bata dito sa UAE kasama namin is it possible po ba na iadopt ko yung bata? at pano po namin sya kukuhaan ng passport kasi as per DFA pag illegitimate yung bata dapat nanay ang kasama? uuwi po kami ng pinas para ayusin ang papers nung bata if ever. about sa nanay all we know is nasa ibang bansa din sya but don't know exactly where

Please advice

The best thing to do is to adopt the child. Then, saka na nyo kunan ng passport, so that it will appear na kayo yung legitimate parents ng bata.

Thank you sa reply. but do we still need yung mother sa pagpirma ng papers for adoption right?
