Question

Alice, a Filipino citizen, and her husband David, a foreign national, have been living abroad for several years. They recently decided to adopt a child from the Philippines through inter-country adoption. They have complied with all the requirements and procedures set forth in the Inter-Country Adoption Act - R.A. No. 8043. However, they encountered some legal issues during the adoption process. Consider the following scenarios:

1. While reviewing the adoption papers, the relevant government agency discovered that Alice and David have an adopted child from another country. They are concerned about the impact of having two adopted children on their application for inter-country adoption in the Philippines. What are the legal implications of having multiple adopted children from different countries?
2. Alice and David received a notice from the Inter-Country Adoption Board (ICAB) stating that their application for inter-country adoption is denied. They are shocked and do not understand the reason for the denial. What are the possible grounds for denial of an application for inter-country adoption under R.A. No. 8043?
3. Alice and David successfully completed the inter-country adoption process and brought their adopted child to their country of residence. However, they are now facing challenges in obtaining the necessary travel documents for their child to visit the Philippines. What are the requirements and procedures for securing the travel documents for a child adopted through inter-country adoption?
