Thanks

I am from Australia so don't know if the same rules apply. When I bought my two step children to Australia we had to go to the Amphur with the village headman and a relative and they made a Stat. Dec that their father had never looked after them . They stated that he had never paid any money to feed them or cloth them and that they did not know where he lived and hadn't been seen for many years. We gave this letter to the Aust. Embasy and they were satisfied with that. Hope this has helped you in some way. Their is no use trying to find the father. Phone your embasy and ask if you can do it this way. It will be far easyier for you and your wife and son. Forget about stepso, he is now your son to look after and man it is great. How old is he? My son was 5 and he is now 18 just finished high school and loves Australia. Best of luck.

I have done the same as David, Go to the Amphor headman and get this document stating the father has never taken care of his son and that the mother is the sole carer. Get this Translated to English and keep both papers together. Do not lose as later on when in Canada you may want to change your sons name to yours and these papers again will have to be shown in the courts for proof of where the Father is. This is a ruling from Births Deaths and Marriages Registrar. This rule is for Australia , for Canada it could be different.
