The law differs from state to state. But u will require the legal parent or guardian to approve. You will also require the ministry if women's affairs or social welfare to approve. Finally a magistrate or judge must sign.
If you need legal assistance don't hesitate to call me on 08053779782

Thanks a million for this information, however, how will this affect a situation where the MOTHER is dead and she was a single mom while alive?
I will surely call you for legal advice and probably service BUT want us to spell few things out here first and we never can tell how it will help others too that needed same information

Are you trying to adopt the child of a dead relative/friend or trying to adopt from an orphanage home?

How old is the child?

The former type of adoption is not straightforward and you will need the parent(s) marriage certificate,death certificate(s), notarized consent letter from the parents next of kin,prefarably sibming bearing same surname and even DNA testing in some cases/embassies.
First step is becoming the childs legal guardian. Pay his/school fees directly to the school(keep all reciepts bearing your name as sender and the childs name as reference) and also sending a token for her/his upkeep monthly. All properly documented.

Why do you want to adopt them and who are they staying with right now. Are you all in Nigeria?

Adopt them because i want to, or what do you mean by that question . . . The kids are in Nigeria staying with their big aunt

Are you a living relative? Well you can help them without adopting them. Your reasons for also adopting them could be that you want to take them somewhere for a better life. Where is their father by the way? If he’s alive it’s best you get his consent as they are still minors. You will have to find him first before trying to adopt them. Any backdoor adoption will backfire.

I am their living uncle and yes, i will like to adopt them to take them out of Nigeria . . . If their father was NEVER in their life while their mother was alive? I still need to start looking for him for consent? A father that never knew if they eat or live? Please i am asking questions and need all the guidance i can get

Yes. You will need the father’s consent. It is one of the tragedies that come with having an irresponsible spouse. No matter what, you will need their consent even in life saving issues. You can get a lawyer to first get legal guardianship of the children and then move to adopt them.

The legal guardianship process can be the fastest way to get an irresponsible parent out of the picture without them knowing your full intent. The father will legally relinquish his rights of care of the children to you. If he knows you want to adopt them to carry them abroad, if he’s greedy he will exploit you. My advise, first become their legal guardian. Get a lawyer.

How is the legal guardianship done in Nigeria, and i am assuming this will be a service of a family lawyer or what aspect of law must the lawyer be practicing? Just wanna make sure we engage the right people . . . You have been an angel and well appreciated

Yes. You will need a lawyer that specializes in family law. You can even travel out with them when you become their legal guardian. You can also find out the process for adopting them abroad, if that is possible. So you don’t have to go through the adoption process in Nigeria. See below more information for legal guardianship:
