Just wondering if anyone knows if you can claim an overseas child as a dependent. My wife is from another country and her daughter is still there and we send money to her grandparents to take care of her. From what I have read it is considered a dependent regardless of country living in, But I would like to know if anyone has gone through this.

Sorry trying to remember children's book from years ago.

there are two (i believe but were short stories so might have been one)

one was about a boy who was in trouble a lot, and some of the adventures he had, including running from someone and having to hide in a store window and grabbing a 5pence sign. and having two old ladies remark about his outfit. the mother pinning money to his clothing i believe to get a cheese from a store.

the other was a creepy story where a couple children (i believe kill a cat, or something like that) and was neighbours and their baby (brother or sister) ends up in a pig pen and one of the children having to use a ladder so they did not get stuck in the mud and get eaten by the pigs.

the name tobermory springs to mind and the audio book had a cat.

if anyone can help let me know. and ask questions it might jog my memory

thank you
