Practice question
An adult Filipino has been treated by proposed adopters as their own child for only two years. The petition relies solely on Section 22(d); no other eligible category or applicable exception is established. The applicant says adulthood removes that category's duration requirement. Which is correct?
- The stated two years does not satisfy Section 22(d)'s at-least-three-year condition.
- Every adult is automatically within Section 22(d).
- Two years always means three for adoption.
- The period is relevant only to infant adoptees.
- The adult can personally declare an adoption complete.
