Nigeria is on the restricted list for adoptions in the UK GOV website
Husband is resident in Nigeria and a Nigerian citizen.
Wife is mainly resident in the UK and is a dual citizen of Poland and the UK.
Prospective child is in NigeriaCan the wife co adopt with her spouse as a Polish citizen since the UK restricts adoptions in Nigeria?
That's the Q.
Since Nigeria is on the restricted list, can she use her polish citizenship ONLY or she should not at all since she's resident in the UK.
That's the Q.
Please, check the UK GOV website for more details
Expert:  LawyerAk replied 10 days ago.
Since she is resident in the U.K. she should not use her polish citizenship only. She can apply as a dual national.
