[chinese_mutt 11]

anyone knows the total cost and how long it will take after the baby is born and papers filed?

According to the US Embassy website, the CRBA fee is $65.00, payable either in U.S. or Philippine currency; cash or credit card.

I don't see anything about the DNA test though. Just wondering if anybody here knows the exact amount that I might be spending if I opt to have the baby in Phil.

I'll try to find the post of the PI member who went through DNA testing for her daughter.

Okay, found her. Her VJ name is "bluemist". You may want to send her PM. The link below may also answer some of your questions.

Thanks thanks!!!

I saw the Php1500 for collecting of sample, not sure if that was it or there's more hidden charge in St. Lukes. I'll look into her post.
