My wife is Thai. We've been married and living in Thailand for the past 18 years. My stepdaughter had a baby when she was very young. The father did a runner and has not been seen since the birth of his daughter (My granddaughter). My wife and I have taken care of our granddaughter, from just after her birth until now (She's 10). I would like to know how difficult it would be for me to adopt my granddaughter, and what, if any, are the advantages of adoption for her.
I have a good, steady job with a major Thai company, WP, Non imm 'O' visa, and yellow tabien baan.
Any comments would be appreciated.
