Does anyone know the answer to this??
Hi everyone, this is a question I have asked Immigration, and the adoption services in Halifax and no-body is quite sure of the answer.....
I was born in Scotland (my mother is Scottish and so is my step-father), my step-father had lived in Halifax from the age of 18 but returned to Scotland every year to ask my mother to marry him (which she declined until I was 7 years old), my mum and I then went to Halifax to live and remained there until I was 15 years old (when my mum got too homesick and moved us all back to Scotland) - however, in that time my step father adopted me (in Halifax) and on my birth certificate it now says that I was adopted in Canada. At that time, I had to be adopted by both my step father AND my birth mother... (strange I know!) My question is, do I have any legal rights to live back in Halifax?? Thanks.

Is your adoptive father a Canadian citizen?
