SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT CHILD ADOPTION

Author(s):  
Aleksandra E. Kasantseva ◽  

Adoption is the preferred form of placement of a child without parental care in a family. The advantage of this form of placement is its permanent nature. In addition, the legal rela-tionship arising between the adoptive parent and his or her ancestors and the adopted child and his or her descendants is equivalent to a parental relationship. Like parental legal relation-ships, the legal relationship between adoptive parents and adoptees is presumed to be perpetual. Unlike other entities raising a child without parental care, adoptive parents may give the adopted child a new name and change the date and place of birth. The legal composition giving rise to a family legal relationship between the adoptive parent and his or her ancestors and the adopted child and his or her descendants is the consent of a number of persons. An enforceable court order for the adoption of a child is a confirming legal fact. It con-firms that the consent of all persons and authorities has been obtained and the child has been placed in the adoptive family. The question arises regarding the consent of the child's parents to his adoption. The con-sent to the adoption is equal to their renunciation of the child, which does not contradict the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Nevertheless, the rules of the Family Code on adop-tion should not initiate a parent's renunciation of his/her child. A child has the right to live and be brought up in his or her own family and to know his or her parents. If a parent relinquishes his or her child, the parental rights should first be removed and then the child should be put up for adoption without his or her consent. The current legal provisions on adoption have other inaccuracies, which are discussed in this article.

The adoption process in our country traditionally has been designed to safeguard the rights of adoptive parents, insure the solidarity of the adoptive family, and preserve the anonymity of the natural parents. To accomplish this, when adoptions are finalized, the original birth certificate is "sealed" and a new certificate is issued in the name of the adoptive parents. Once sealed, the laws of most states specify that the original record can be opened only by court order and for "just cause." A few states have provisions for opening of the records on demand of the adoptee when that person becomes an adult. This provision often turns out to be true in theory but not in practice, and the definition of "just cause" has varied greatly from court to court. Most adoptive parents have warm and loving relationships with their adoptive children. Most try to pass on to them, at appropriate times, as much of the birth information as they know and are able to provide. Most adoptees have a warm and loving and truly bonded relationship with their adoptive parents. In spite of this, and regardless of their attachment to the adoptive parents, some adoptees, as they reach maturity, have a compelling desire to learn of their natural parent or parents. Many adult adoptees and adoption specialists see this search as essential to the establishment of a sense of identity. Most reports of reunions indicate that adoptees have been pleased with the meeting and that their ties to their adoptive parents have been strengthened thereby.

Abstract Iran accepts temporary marriage to facilitate and sanctify sexual relationships. The concession of temporary marriage has, however, been the subject of controversy in the past four decades. One significant refutation of temporary marriage is related to its attempted usage in the case of child-adoption, sanctioned by both the state and some Shiʿi mujtahids. The explicated rationale is that an adopted child does not benefit from mahramiyat and is, therefore, non-mahram to members of the adoptive family after reaching puberty. To establish mahramiyat, Shiʿi jurisprudence allows for temporary marriage between the adoptee and a member of the adoptive family. By performing a temporary marriage, new familial ties are established, and mahramiyat limitations are lifted. This proposed solution, however, can lead to other significant legal and social complications. This paper investigates Shiʿi jurisprudence allowing temporary marriage in child-adoption scenarios in contemporary Twelver Shiʿa by exploring relevant fiqh/ijtihad and legal perspectives in Iran.

Abstrak. Di Indonesia pengangkatan anak/adopsi diatur dalam Undang-undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 23 tahun 2020 perihal pengangkatan anak, di dalam pasal 39 poin 1 dijelaskan, dalam hal ini pengangkatan anak hanya dapat dilakukan berdasarkan kepentingan yang terbaik bagi anak dan dapat dilakukan dengan ketentuan adat setempat dan ketentuan peraturan yang berlaku. Hal ini agar pengangkatan anak tidak terjadi kesalah fahaman atau pertikaian di belakang hari, terlebih-lebih apabila orang tua angkatnya meninggal dunia lebih dulu. Sebagaimana dalam putusan hakim Pengadilan Agama Pekanbaru klas 1A Nomor. 181/Pdt.P/2020/PA.Pbr, tentang penetapan ahli warits.  Majelis Hakim Pengadilan Agama Pekanbaru menolak penetapan ahli warits disebabkan adanya anak angkat, meskipun tidak ada bukti yang menunjukkan adanya penetapan pengadilan atau secara adat tentang pengangkatan anak tersebut. Berdasarkan uraian ini, maka penulis merasa perlu menganalisis dari asfek yuridis dan filososfis untuk menemukan jawaban mengapa permohonan penetapan ahli warits ini ditolak, dan apa dasar hukum hakim yang digunakan serta bagaimana putusan ini jika dianalisis dengan konsep maqasid syariah. Jenis penelitian dalam tulisan ini adalah penelitian pustaka (library reseach), yaitu penelitian hukum yang dilakukan dengan cara meneliti bahan pustaka atau data sekunder belaka dengan menggunakan pendekatan hukum normatif dan pilosofis. Adapun kesimpulannya, bahwa anak angkat sangat punya kepentingan terhadap harta tirkah dari alamarhumah, karena para pemohon tidak memasukkan anak angkat sebagai orang yang berhak sebagai pihak dalam perkara aquo, majelis hakim berpendapat permohonan para Pemohon kurang pihak. Maka pertimbangan majelis hakim dengan menggunakan kaedah “Menolak mafsadah didahulukan daripada mengambil kemaslahatan”. Apabila dianalisis perkara ini dengan pisau analisis maqasid syariah  yang sesuai dengan prinsip maqasid syariah dan terhimpun dalam empat kulliyatul khams sekaligus, yakni memelihara agama (hifz ad-din), memelihara jiwa (hifz an-nafs), memelihar akal (hifz al-aql dan memelihara harta (hifz al-mal). Abstract. In Indonesia, adoption/adoption is regulated in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 23 of 2020 regarding child adoption, in article 39 point 1 it is explained, in this case the adoption can only be carried out based on the best interests of the child and can be carried out with local customary provisions and applicable regulations. This is so that the adoption of a child does not cause misunderstandings or disputes later in life, especially if the adoptive parents die first. As in the decision of the Pekanbaru Religious Court class 1A No. 181/Pdt.P/2020/PA.Pbr, regarding the determination of heirs. The Pekanbaru Religious Court Panel of Judges rejected the determination of heirs due to the presence of an adopted child, although there is no evidence to show that there was a court order or custom regarding the adoption of the child. Based on this description, the author feels the need to analyze from the juridical and philosophical aspects to find answers to why the application for the determination of heirs was rejected, and what is the legal basis of the judge used and how this decision is analyzed with the concept of maqasid sharia. The type of research in this paper is library research, namely legal research carried out by examining library materials or secondary data using normative and philosophical legal approaches. As for the conclusion, that the adopted child is very interested in the tirkah property of the alamarhumah, because the petitioners do not include the adopted child as a person who has the right as a party in the aquo case, the panel of judges is of the opinion that the petition of the petitioners is lacking in parties. Then the consideration of the panel of judges using the method "Rejecting mafsadah takes precedence over taking benefit". When analyzed this case with a maqasid sharia analysis knife which is in accordance with the principles of maqasid sharia and is compiled in four kulliyatul khams at once, namely maintaining religion (hifz ad-din), preserving soul (hifz an-nafs), preserving reason (hifz al-aql and maintain property (hifz al-mal).

In addition, there is the growing body of law that has spoken to the right of people to know the content of various personal records.

AbstractPast research has documented pervasive genetic influences on emotional and behavioral disturbance across the life span and on liability to adult psychiatric disorder. Increasingly, interest is turning to mechanisms of gene–environment interplay in attempting to understand the earliest manifestations of genetic risk. We report findings from a prospective adoption study, which aimed to test the role of evocative gene–environment correlation in early development. Included in the study were 561 infants adopted at birth and studied between 9 and 27 months, along with their adoptive parents and birth mothers. Birth mother psychiatric diagnoses and symptoms scales were used as indicators of genetic influence, and multiple self-report measures were used to index adoptive mother parental negativity. We hypothesized that birth mother psychopathology would be associated with greater adoptive parent negativity and that such evocative effects would be amplified under conditions of high adoptive family adversity. The findings suggested that genetic factors associated with birth mother externalizing psychopathology may evoke negative reactions in adoptive mothers in the first year of life, but only when the adoptive family environment is characterized by marital problems. Maternal negativity mediated the effects of genetic risk on child adjustment at 27 months. The results underscore the importance of genetically influenced evocative processes in early development.

In inheritance, adopted children are not included in the category of factors that cause someone to inherit each other, so that the adopted child has no right to inherit from his adopted father. If the adoptive parent wishes to give property to the adopted child it can be distributed by means of a grant while he is still alive or by will.

Many noteworthy changes have occurred in South African adoption law in the recent past: With the enactment of the Children’s Act, various new concepts have been provided for. A post-adoption agreement is one such concept. This provision allows the Children’s Court to grant an order confirming an agreement whereby the biological parent/s or guardian/s of a child would have the benefit of either communication or contact with the adopted child, or the right to be provided with certain information concerning such child. An application for judicial approval of a post-adoption agreement is brought before the court simultaneously alongside the adoption order. This is a major step towards the concept widely known in the international community as ‘openness’ in the adoption process, and away from the secrecy which dominated adoptions in the past. Currently in South Africa, adoption may be described as an ‘... order [which] has the effect of creating a legal relationship between the adoptive parent and the adopted child in the interests of the child.’ This involves the severing of legal ties between the birth parents and their child, relinquishing all parental rights and responsibilities and handing them over to the adoptive parents. Therefore in the eyes of the law, the adopted child is, for all purposes, the child of the adoptive parent/s. Due to the fact that this is the first time the South African legislature has sought to provide for and regulate post-adoption contact, this article serves as an exploration into the new possibilities and struggles South Africa may face in this regard.

This article raises the question of the initiative to appeal to a lawyer in the process of international adoption of Russian children in order to monitor compliance with their interests and protect their rights. The author substantiates the need to allow minors over the age of fourteen to conclude independently an agreement on the provision of legal assistance with a lawyer on his own behalf without the consent of the legal representative in order to accompany the latter the process of international adoption of such a minor. In case of minors under the age of fourteen, the author proposes to impose the obligation of conclusion an agreement with a lawyer on the legal representative of the minor. The main arguments, given by the author in defense of his position, are: the ability of a lawyer to be a guarantor of protection the interests of the adopted child, the legality of actions in relation to the child and potential adoptive parents; gratuitousness of the provision of legal assistance by a lawyer in this category of cases by virtue of the law. The author also discusses the feasibility of lowering the age, which takes into account the child’s opinion, regarding his right to live and be raised in a family, and legal education measures for orphans and children left without parental care in order to exclude the possibility of abuse by legal representatives, in particular, by the guardianship authorities, their rights and (or) powers.

The scientific article is devoted to the study of the legal nature of separate proceedings in cases of granting the right to marry.It is established that a separate proceeding as a type of non-litigious civil proceedings is characterized by: 1) the absence of a dispute about the right, which, at the same time, does not exclude the existence of a dispute about the fact; 2) a special object of judicial protection – a legally protected (legitimate) interest, which is the needs and aspi-rations to use a specific material and (or) intangible asset, which may or may not be mediated by a certain subjective right. Protection of legally protected (legal) interest is carried out by the court by deciding on the presence or absence of legal facts relevant to the protection of rights, freedoms and interests of a person or creating conditions for the exercise of personal non-property or property rights or confirmation of the presence or absence of undisputed rights.It is determined that a separate proceeding in cases of granting the right to marry is a type of non-litigious civil proceedings for consideration of applications for confirmation of the presence or absence of legal facts that are im-portant for creating conditions for a person’s right to marry. It is substantiated that the legal nature of separate proceedings in cases of granting the right to marry is a set of substantive grounds for granting the right to marry and features of the procedural form of consideration by the court of relevant applications that mediate changes in family law. The court, establishing the presence or absence of legal facts, decides to grant a person the right to marry, thereby expanding the family law capacity of such a person due to the ability to exercise the right to marry before reaching marriageable age or marry between the adopter’s adopted child and the adopted child, as well as between children who have been adopted by an adoptive parent.
