Statute overview

About this statute

Adoption of a child under 18 requires approval as an adoptive parent, unless a stated family/close-relationship exception applies. Rigsombudsmanden must notify Greenland Self-Government in some adoption cases and prepare and send a report on the applicant for foreign adoption authorities in others. Rules on when an adoptive approval can lapse, the applicant’s duty to report relevant changes, and the intermediary organization’s duties in matching a child with an applicant. Section 16 requires certain adoption-related refusals and notifications to be made in writing, and sets out when matters must be referred to the Rigsombudsmanden or Ankestyrelsen. Section 15 lets authorities make adoption-related exceptions, and places several duties on the applicant and the Rigsombudsmanden.
