Adoption legal frameworks
Adoption legal frameworks are the laws and regulations that govern the process of establishing a permanent parent-child relationship between someone who is not the biological parent and a child. These laws specify the procedures for applying, assessment, consent, and finalization to ensure the child's best interests are prioritized. They also define rights and responsibilities of adoptive parents and legal procedures for protecting the child's welfare. These frameworks ensure that adoptions are conducted fairly, transparently, and in accordance with national and international standards, creating a secure legal foundation for the child's future.
