Does anyone have experience of adoptions in Thailand? We've raised a cousin since she was 6 and she's now 21. She wants to be our daughter legally. My (Thai) wife has adopted her but she can't take our name (only my wife's maiden name, which would be odd) because I've not officially adopted her. How can I adopt her so that we can all have the same name?

Been 6 months ago, my daughter was taken away without my permission, I as the mother were not allowed to talk to my her.

And all access to communication with the biological father is blocked.

The communication through several emails contained intimidation and threats regarding the struggle for child custody.

So far, I have reported this to the police in Jakarta, the Australian embassy, ​​the Ministry of Women and Children, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and are currently coordinating with the Indonesian Embassy in Bangkok.

What is the next step that I have to do in addition to coordinating in Bangkok - Thailand?

I only know about my daughter's whereabouts so far only the area where my daughter goes to school.

Some additional information:

She have 2 citizenship / passports ( INDONESIA & AUSTRALIA )

Can the Immigration office in Bangkok and or the airport let us out/fly back to Indonesia with the Indonesian passport?

Hi guys, I’m in need of some advice regarding options for divorce.

My Thai girlfriend of 2 years is still married to an expat that she has not seen for over 4 years.

He now lives in the UK as far as we know.

She has tried to contact him to try and get a divorce but he has never responded to her.

The only information I can find regarding her getting divorced involves them both attending together to sign the necessary documents.

Does anyone know of other options or had any experience with a similar situation please.
