  1. Of course if the mother never went through an official (amphoe) wedding registration with the father, she probably has sole custody already.

    Important point for me. We could get married because my wife and her ex-huband never register their wedding, but he signed the birth certificate and the child have his family name. We will check this from amphoe shortly.

  2. Living in Thailand for more than two and a half year and beeing married for one and a half year, My Thai wife's daughter (12) is living with us for 2 years and I take care of all the expenses (School, Insurance, dentist, glasses, etc.). The father of the child disapeared 6 years ago. I wonder if it's a good idea to adopt her (she call me Daddy) and what will be the procedure?

    Sure, why not? One benny could be that she'd be included on your medical insurance family plan.

    We did this with my wife's nephew some years back. Down to the provincial social welfare office and make the application. That's "pha sa son kho."

    Seems like there's a provincial adoption committee that meets 2-3 times a year, they make the decision.

    It may/will be complicated by the absence of the father so you might have to get a court order granting your wife sole custody of the child.

    "your wife sole custody of the child", this look like a first step. We probably have to check in district or province administration
