Hi

Does anyone know anything about or have experience of adopting children in Portugal via the social security system? Is it possible to do it if you're a non-national (British in our case) but living in Portugal under EU residency? Or must you wait until you've gained permanent residency (after five years)?

I understand this is not an easy or quick process, but would love to hear from people who have knowledge of this.

Any info much appreciated

Cheers
Neil

Hi Neil,

My husband and I are still learning about Portugal. We rely on our Lawyer friend (Sergio) who looks out for us. You may want to ask Sergio, sergio.catarino@ncadvogados.pt.
