In a letter to an adoption columnist for ABS-CBN, a woman expresses concern over her sister-in-law's recent "adoption," a process which consisted of a falsified birth certificate. Her primary question is, "Is this adoption legal?"

"...you are right to be concerned. NO adoption occurred. Instead, a crime occurred, the falsification of a birth certificate, and everyone involved can go to jail... the lawyer who prepared the false certificate of birth can be disbarred..."

Adoption processes exist for the protection of both the parents and the children. Yes, they can take a long time, and waiting can be excruciating. But the alternative is to participate in a process that's not legal and could result in removal of the child. Source: ABS-CBN News
