Statute overview

About this statute

This chapter concerns the conditions for adoption. Adoption is intended to promote the child’s best interests by establishing a parent-child relationship, and it is decided by a court. Adoption kan fastställas bara om vissa villkor är uppfyllda, och domstolen ska få utredning när adoption söks. Adoption cannot be confirmed if payment or a promise of payment was given for the adoption or for the child’s maintenance, and any such payment agreement is invalid. An adoptant may not adopt their own child, except when the child was previously given as an adoptive child.
