Okay, I'm wrong and you're right. Fcuk off. Hague Service Convention - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hey i'll marry her if you pay for my eden club ..

I'm a British citizen so it might not be helpful

The Declaration of Independence says I have the right to "Life, Liberty & The Pursuit of Happiness". Why should any government tell me who I can and cannot adopt? I make plenty of money, have a spotless criminal record and can provide more than enough for this child!

American arrogance at its best.

^^^

non-American arrogance at its worst!

I am not sure who pissed in your cornflakes brah.....

If my "pursuit of happiness" is adopting my niece I don't think the US government should tell me no.

All we amount to be is legal entities.

Sorry mate, with all the respect in the world, Pongtip is a bloody silly name.

If that if that ageing goodcause hitchhiker madonna and that other tree hugging actress can do it, then im sure you will, although i think that adoption amounts to more than a promise to buy a car for a sixteenth birthday present.

There are many that think a luxury free life in rural thailand with a basic education can be just as fullfilling as being brought up in the usa or other wextern countries with their competitiveness, shallowness,constant stress etc etc etc.

Thegrass is always greener

I've always wanted to meet a Pornstar.

I'm sure such a Thai gal exists!

I hope you don't think I am that clueless.... I want to give the best education I can... We will give her all the love and support we can.... for the rest of my life... no matter what happens.

fair enough my friend... I know that her possibilities are limited where she is now. Hawaii will give her possibilities she does not even know exist. She is so "book smart" and she struggles with the boredom of the teaching level in rural Thailand. I will send her to the same private school Obama graduated from.

our next step is looking into the student visa process.

Ignore the idiot responses mate, student visa sounds hopeful. God luck!

Cumtip sounds like a nice girl. I have 3 pikey cousins, the oldest is wanktip, the middle is rubbishtip and the youngest liitle tyke is called snookercuetip.

Wicked innit.

PH- do not give up on your effort as it is a good one.

.

How and why did you get so besotted with a 9 year old Asian girl?

She is his niece. His wife's sister's daughter.

I realise the relationship , She isnt blood Family.
But I wonder how come he became so besotted with the 9 year old girl .
It doesnt seem like a parental kind of love .

yes we have put it to her... She wants to live here in Hawaii with us. She is no fool... She is the top of her class at school and feels she is not challenged. She wants to have a the best education she can get.

and she knows she would come home every summer to see everybody.

and the last adjective I would ever use to describe myself.. or my wife... is selfish!

I really dont think that nine year olds from that part of the World can make a logical choice about what She wants and what is best for her.
Kids of her age know little about the outside World , let lone the difference in life She will face , maybe you sold her the dream, "Come and live with me and you will have everything you wish for" , most kids would say yes to that .
If you solely wanted what was best for her, you should send her Parents money over and maybe then they would get back together and She can then be bought up in her home Country by Her Parents .
Emigrating is hard enough for Adults, let alone a Child leaving her Parents , Country and everything She knows and having to adapt to US life
