Hello Im wondering if anyone can help or maybe give some direction.
'We are living in Australia , I am English (have NZ citizenship) my husband is NZ Maori, and we have two children both NZ born.
I cannot have more children but we would love the chance to adopt a child (preferably maori descent) from New Zealand.
I know that in years gone by children were adopted by other family members within the extended maori whanau(family) if it was in the best interest of the child (this was the case with my husbands sister,).I dont believe there was any legal involvement.
Does anyone have any advice on this subject?
Especially considering bringing a child out of NZ and the legal
aspects of this.
Thank you and Godbless xxxxxjanette
