In Reply to: Taking friends child with us - question posted by Colnlyn on Wednesday, 20. August 2008 at 17:57 Bali Time:
Thailand a few years ago and she stayed on for a few more days on her own. I had her type out a letter before we left to say that I had full parental rights, including giving permission for aneasthetic if necessary and that the child travelled with me with the mother's full permission. Of course I didn't need to use it, but was a good insurance policy!
