Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on the issue of legal effects of regulations. It indicates the legal context of the proposed solutions and signals possi-ble legal problems related to the introduction of the proposed regulations into the legal system. The study points out, inter alia, that the current Article 114 § 1 of the Act of 25 February 1964 — Family and Guardianship Code — assuming one of the possible inter-pretations of the notion of a ‘child’ — may be inconsistent with the proposed Article 72(2a) of the Fundamental Law to the extent to which it excludes the admissibility of adoption of a woman who at the time of filing an application for adoption was under 18 years of age, but became of age through marriage.
