Legal Challenges of the Adoption Procedure: Current Views from Regulation and Practice

Summary/Abstract: Adoption was initially seen as a compromise solution because of the principle of maintaining or reintegrating the underage child in the natural family was enshrined as an absolutist one, from which no derogations may be made. The child’s best interest was reappreciated because of the situation in which the family became a true enemy because of the way the parents were managing parental duties. Negligence or worse, abusive behaviour on your own child, alcohol consumption have generated sometimes dramas so it was proposed to simplify the procedure of adoption and the possibility that the minor should be entrusted to adoption. However, adding a new stage in the proceedings, the repeal of the provisions relating to the substantive conditions of the special law relating to adoption-at the time of the enforcement of the new civil code, have made it difficult to establish this action as a target in the individualised plan of protection of the child. Very important, along with the republishing of the special normative act in the year 2012, there was a clear differentiation of the notion of internal adoption and international adoption. The right to information of the adopted child about his/her origins is today guaranteed due to the alignment of the provisions of the international regulations of the procedure in question.
