Here's the problem. The "father" column in little girl's birth cert is blank. Any way to get my name up there?? We did some research on our own and can't seem to find a good way. 1 suggested way was for me to get married in VN and then adopting the gal. Like the bros here, as long as you got the right contacts and money, miracles can happen in VN?? So was wondering if you guys have any lobangs or better suggestions for me to “officially” become the girl’s father.

Why I want to do this is because I’m planning to bring them over to Singapore soon. This brings me to the next question. How does the SG government handle children in my situation?? Where Singaporean men give birth to children overseas (hopefully I can get the paperwork to prove that)?? What are the procedures of bringing them in?? Bro SingViet should be in a similar situation??

Thanks a lot for reading and thanks for any comments in advance!!
Bro, to get yr name on the gal's birth cert may not be a big problem in Vietnam, but to handle ICA in Singapore is not easy. If the `child' is borned before you and the lady is officially married, Singapore's ICA will not accept that. You have to PROVE that the child is yr off-springs, thus take DNA.

Nowadays in Vietnam, to insert yr name in the child's birth cert when the child is 4 years old now is tough job. It may not be that possible. Best thing to do is to register yr marriage with yr gal in Singapore and after that, officially ADOPT the child. This is a better way than to spend all the unnecessary money on bribing the officers in Vietnam and hitting a big block in Singapore immigration.

By the way, my children are all officially my off-springs...... so my situation is different from yrs
