Well, are you still in a relationship with this man, or are you divorced?
What is the nationality of the biological father, or what is his staus in the UK?

You could apply for a national passport for your child, and apply for Residence card once that is received. This will all depend on whether your husband is still exercising treaty rights, and he is ready to provide the necessary document to support the application.
You may also want to give consideration to marriage counselling, as it must be a difficult moment for the pair of you.

thanks again Obie for your time, Yes it has been indeed very difficult but we are getting there. i know that if i ask his document he will suply them but the baby do have her biological father name as this is what my hubby required for us to stay in the relationship. i really want to travel and take a brake with the baby but do not know what to do? is it possible for me to use my husband document even thought she is someone else baby??? if i travel with her without resident card, will i be able to bring her back in the UK?

Well you first need to sort out this child's passport? possibly she may be able to acquire your nationality.
How long has your husband lived in the UK for, and are you thinking of the possibility of him adopting this child as his or not?
It may raise eyebrow at the homeoffice, but at the end of the day, if it is established that you are in a genuine relationship with your husband and has been, and that you are still in a subsisting marriage, they will have no option but issue her a residence Card.

He has been living here for 2 year and half and is working, no for now he does not want to adopt the child
, i have decide to let it rest (convincing him to adopt)and try again when baby is older. and yes i am thinking of applying for her passort from my ambassy. If we receive her passport and he gives us his document do you think i can apply in person at the HO for her permit? or can i apply for it back home as i wanted to go there this easter, thank you for your advice Obie that is really kind of you!!!!
If anyone have had the same situation could you please share with me

Your status and your baby's status are dependent on your husband. What is he doing in the UK? Is he working, self-sufficient or a student? If he is exercising treaty rights, then he is entitled for his family members to be with him.
Your baby would be covered as a family member according to the directive and EEA regulations. You are the mother and you are married to an EU national living in the UK.
Complete EEA2, you need to sent it by post. You will need to provide evidence that you are the mother (birth cert); that you are married to an EU national (marriage certificate), the baby's passport; evidence of your husband's nationality (passport or ID) and evidence of what your husband does in the UK (worker, student, self-sufficient).
How long has your husband lived in the UK? Does he perhaps have permanent residence?

I concur.
It is nothing person that your question has not been answered in the timely manner you expected.
Unfrtunately some of us do have our job, outside the forum, so it means you might have to wait for a while.
Prepare for the fact that the HO, might want to enquire into the genuine nature of your marriage, given the fact that child was born, after you got married to the EEA national.
Provided you can satisfy them that your relationship is truely genuine, your child should be fine.
However i doubt if you will be able to receive a residence Card before easter.

As long as your husband is working, he is living in accordance with the regulations and his family members can be with him.

What is the citizenship of the baby? Is the biological father's name on the birth certificate?
Be very clear that the family members covered by the law include both your children and the EU citizens children, assuming you are married.
If the baby would normally require a visa to enter the UK, then I would urge you not to travel outside the UK until the RC is issued. Spring time is coming, the sun and strawberries are near (hopefully), and international travel can only cause problems.

Thanks Directive/2004/38/EC for your advice, and yes we agree to put biological father name on certificate, therefore i was even wandering if i should put the full birth certificate or just the summary in the application

If you have the full one, put that in with the application. The important point is to demonstrate that you are the mother.

I finally took the chance and travelled with my daughter for April break. please note that we travelled with her non EEA passport and without VISA. Once in the host country i applied for EEA2 for her. The application had the EEA hubby ID, bank statement and work letter, tenancy agreement, daughter full birth certificate and hospital letters, copy of my RC, utility bills. Within a week my daughter was granted family permit valid for 6 month :D :D :D :D :D :D . We are now back to the UK. I shall now apply for her 5years RC
You must have applied for a EEA Family Permit. Once in the UK you can apply for a Residence Card (valid for 5 years)

In fact Directive/2004/38/EC, i did fill the form for EEA2, but for some reason they sent me back the completed form and granted her the family permit. I therefore consider myself lucky
