My mistake. I thought you were referring to NRI's (Non Resident Indians). Quick google shows that I was wrong. I thought India did permit Dual Citizenship. You would think being an NRI, I would know, lol.
My daughter born outside of UK, how do I get her back into Britian?

well what other options does he have in this situation ? there isnt many and they all have negatives
should he of just quit work and his career as soon as his family got ill and then sponged benefits to pay for the kid ?
he obviously didnt plan on his wifes mother getting ill and needing to be looked after
but of course your perfect and your family's perfect so maybe we should all just bow down

When someone in my family gets ill they go to hospital and get cared for by trained people..
They don't put their kid in another country while both the husband of the ill mother in law and the father of the child are to ****ing busy to look after it.
This bit is more to the OP,
If you cannot afford to get someone to care for your ill mother in law.
Why ARE you both (husband of ill, and you) breaking your balls.
Something there needs evaluating, either slow the **** down and be there for your kids or be a workaholic and pay someone else to look after your ill family. You can't do both IMO.
Hope it all works out for you guys Bum and that your mother-in-law recovers.
We were in a similar situation just after our daughter was born (mother is Chinese) and we had to send our baby over to China to live with her parents for a short time. Honestly it was heart breaking and readjusting once the baby was back was almost as tough as when she was born.
Have to considered employing a home helper, either for your mother-in-law or the baby? Unless you are in Shanghai / Hong Kong you could probably hire someone for between 1000 rmb - 2000 rmb per month. If your wife is at all like mine then just look at family friends and a recent graduate. Throw in a few hours English speaking/listening practise a week as a 'benefit' of the job if you can

China has nothing resembling our NHS. You get sick, you pay for treatment. That's it.
If you can't pay, too bad.
To give you an example, the average worker's wage in an average Chinese city can be 1500 rmb per month. It costs 6000 rmb to have a baby delivered. Care costs for a chronic condition will clean you out - I'm sure you know why Obama was pushing for Universal heathcare in the US.

Well she is definitely entitled to British citizenship assuming you hold british citizenship yourself just in case you were wondering.
My dad is English which means I am entitled even though I've lived my entire life in Ireland. I also have the benefit of Ireland having special treaties with the UK in this regard
Its the same if you were born in any country I think. my parents are British but I was born in south africa. you have to come to the UK before you are 18 to confirm your citizenship i think.
A nanny?
There are so many wtf's in this thread in general, I'm calling shenanigans. As a new father I know I certainly wouldn't be asking advice about my three week old baby's life on a computer forum in such a 'meh' way.
If the thread is real then I just hope the grandparents are not like their son.

They don't need to. As far as the UK authorities are concerned she's entitled to hold a British passport. The Chinese authorities can think what they want, if that means she can only be Chinese then I guess she'll have to be Chinese. Doesn't stop her also holding a British passport.
I suppose all the British sound the same then?

I still call my 20 year old daughter 'The Baby' and my 9 year old Nephew 'Our baby'.
