我刚考古 "美国公民过继国内弟弟子女", 发现这个网站
https://www.hooyou.com/cn_version/adoption/hagueinfo.html
Q1: ”美国公民夫妇过继国内弟弟 12 岁儿子“， 是不是按这个网站上的 ”公约领养“ 一类走？
遗憾没看到网站上有“亲属领养”一类。
Q2: 弟弟12岁的儿子在我的监护和与我居住两年的证明， 这样要求是必须的吗？
-You can choose either one of the two processes to adopt your brother's son:
1. You can use the Hague adoption process. Good: the child does not need to live toegther with you for at least two years and the child can get the green card immediately after the adoption is completed. Bad: the process is very complicate and you need to hire an experienced lawyer to help you.
2. You can use the family-based petition process. Good: the process is simple and you even do not need to hire a lawyer, i.e., you can do it by yourself. Bad: you need to live together with the child for at least two years, i.e., you "must have evidence of a full and final adoption and satisfy the 2-year legal custody and joint residence requirements before the adopted child may be considered their “child” for purposes of immigration benefits".
非常感谢这里有像您一样的热心人
