Two days ago President Arroyo signed Republic Act 9523, otherwise known as “An Act Requiring the Certification of the DSWD to Declare a ‘Child Legally Available for Adoption’ as a Prerequisite for Adoption Proceedings.” I’m still looking for an online copy of the text of said law. I’ll try to post a link to it here as soon as I find it. For the meantime you can read more about the new law HERE.
