well here in the philippines there is such a thing as assumption of paternity..i'm just not sure if the child would carry your surname..it would be better to register her with the british embassy also so that the child would have a dual citizenship..

Dual citizenship is indeed the way to go...things can happen, you know.

you can do both. however, you have to be sure that your child has your name in her birth cert.

for local registry, you have to sign at the portion designated in the forms for late registration (if she wasn't registered at the time of birth).
