No. Philippines require that at least one adoptive parents travel. They do not allow escorts. The stay is only 4 days in country.

The first day you will meet your child and you should be able one day to visit the orphanage. You should purchase your child's one way ticket at the same time you purchase your roundtrip ticket, Tell the agent your childs age, etc.
