Hi, I am new to the forum. Maybe someone can give some guidance to our situation. My wife and I are in process of adopting her Niece(5 years old) & Nephew(1 year old) from the Philippines. We have already completed our adoption court appearance in the Philippines and the adoption is in proceeding for the final judgement. I am a US citizen and my wife is Filipino. I am well aware of the I-600 form for US immigration needed to bring the children home to the US. The issue is that the childrens parents are both still alive and the reason why we are adopting them is because they are not financially able to support them. The parents have turned the children over to the grand parents for support but have not technically abandoned them. I am wondering how this will affect the I-600 processing. If there is anyone with some advice on how to proceed, my wife & I would very much appreciate it. Thanks!
