Posted 5 Sep 2017 I can't vouch for the other countries, but if a German adopts an adult, the adoptee is not automatically entitled to German citizenship. If you're that desperate for a passport, perhaps you should look into fraudulent marriage. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 5 Sep 2017 Very dodgy. In Spain, a judge will look into why the adult will be adopted and will only grant the request is there's a verifiable, close, and long-term relationships between the adopters and the adoptee. It's also a legal requirement that the adoptee have lived with the adopters for at least one year prior to the request. Although I presume that there are people who would adopt someone (and even lie in court) for money, I tend to view El Jeffo's suggestion as an easier alternative (but don't ask me). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 5 Sep 2017 Bullshit. Legal way to get citizenship is by investment. Usually southern countries offer this (normally in return for property), less known country which sells passports for money is Austria: https://www.henleyglobal.com/citizenship-austria-overview/ This company is reputable. We are talking here about six figure sums. Many Chinese/Indian/Gulf businessmen can afford this. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This forum is to ask/share ...isn't it ? And No, I am not planning to adopt anyone till now, may be in future yes!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 3 Dec 2017 You come from a Third World country? Your profile says you´re from the Czech Republic? By the way, how can a mum adopt her own child? You´ve lost me there... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 3 Dec 2017 Probably not his real mum, something along these lines: or his real mum, but she just took on German citizenship after marrying a German. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 3 Dec 2017 TheGerman brother of a good friend of mine was adopted by a woman also German) in his village. He must have been in his 40's - 50's. Well situated, principal of a Sonderschule in a village. His biological mother is still alive. I have no idea how or why this was done. My friend didn't offer the details and I didn't want to ask -- but it happened. I assume it's for inheritance reasons but that's just a guess. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 3 Dec 2017 I forgot to write I would adopt you any time as my fellow brother/sister from our common hippy times, dear arunadasi! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You´ve lost me there... John G, thanks for pointing out the profile, i will correct. It is my real biological mum but because I am adult, i am looking at possible ways of staying in Germany if all other options such as work, etc fail. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 4 Dec 2017 @Monochamp From what I understand your mom cannot adopt you because she's already your mom and you are her son. If by "adoption" you mean whether she can somehow sponsor you to become a German resident in Germany, I don't know much about that kind of stuff but I believe a family reunification visa would only be available to you if you were an unmarried minor. Was your mom German when you were born? If she was you might look into whether you are German yourself. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 4 Dec 2017 If she is your real mother, why on earth should she adopt you? She can't. Sounds a bit fishy to me. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
