Hello,
This is really complicated but please bare with me.
Through a friend, I've been introduced to a guy who has a electronic tag on his ankle and 4+ criminal records for various things. He had a child with a lady but she's a drug addict and forbidden from ever seeing her child. Let's call the child Penny and her father John. Penny's mother is white but her father is Asian.
John sees Penny through Social serves once a month for a hour or two.
John does not have a uk passport and I've been told he's at risk of being deported for his criminal record?
He says that under no circumstances does he want Penny.
Apparently, social services have said that Penny can be adopted/fostered (not sure which and John doesn't speak the best of English) if John (the father) finds a suitable family who will have her? All he needs to do is sign her over?
I'm so confused and new to all this! Can someone please shed some light and tell me if this is even possible at the slightest?
Penny has been in care (at a child centre?) since she was 2 months. She's now 3 years old.
I am English and my husband is Asian, we are married, dual income of £80,000, have a spare bedroom, don't have kids and don't plan to have any for at least another 3 years. Can we adopt or foster Penny?
I've only seen videos of Penny from John and have completely fallen in love with and my heart aches that she's basically like an orphan... please help x
