Best ways to compile proof of relationship for DCF

[wheresmyrainbow 1]

Considering DCF for my adopted children, we have to live together for 2 years before we'd be eligible.  So I'm looking at ways to best prove that.  

 

1. Photos - I thought I would screenshot each photo on my phone to show the date/time it was taken, that way I can show regular presence together throughout the 2 years.  I was thinking maybe I would add the photos in a power point document, but I'm not very technically savvy so not sure if that's the best way?

 

2. Affidavits/letters - I thought we could ask various people to state what their relationship is with us and how they witnessed us living together and caring for the children?  Wondering if there is a certain format that should be used, if it can be scanned to me or if I need the original, and if it has to be notarized?

 

3. We are also compiling proof of flights, different residence permits, school and immunization records to show we were together and caring for them as our kids.

 

Any ideas welcome!

Are you trying to bring your children your adopted to the United States? Have you legally adopted your children? The DCF is not a route for adopted children. You would need to complete an adoption- file a petition wait. Complete everything with USCIS for the adoption.

Hi, yes their adoption was complete in their birth country and we have been living with them almost 2 years so we will file I-130 at the right time. The info for DCF has adoption listed as one of the acceptable special circumstances.

I imagine it might be a little different for adoption but I dont know. I actually might contact an immigration lawyer. I have done DCF and I did an international adoption a few years ago so I know it gets messy.

 

I would just double check that this can be done.
