Description
Child adoption lawyer in Bucharest
Do you want to understand the adoption procedure or do you need assistance at an administrative or judicial stage? We analyze the family situation and the legal documents for the procedure provided by law, while respecting the best interests of the child.
The legal procedure and the role of the authorities
Adoption involves assessments, documents and verification of the concrete situation. The lawyer’s assistance does not replace the duties of the DGASPC, the competent authority or the court. We do not mediate the selection of a child or promise to obtain adoption within a guaranteed timeframe.
What situation needs to be analyzed
- Legal information about the steps applicable to domestic adoption.
- Documents and decisions regarding evaluation and certification, when necessary.
- Adoption of a child by the spouse of the child’s parent, with a review of the specific conditions.
- Judicial requests and applicable consent documents.
- International elements, which require separate rules and checks.
The child's interest and privacy
The procedure seeks the best interest of the child and compliance with legal requirements, including consent and the child’s opinion, as appropriate. The wishes of adults do not replace these checks. The child’s, family’s and natural parents’ data must not be published to support the procedure.
How a lawyer can help you
We explain the stage you are in, verify the documents and communications, prepare the necessary requests or defenses, and represent you in accordance with the law. If there is a refusal or a contested act, we analyze the reasoning and the next steps. We do not assume that a simple request in court replaces all the administrative steps.
Documents for the initial discussion
Relevant civil status documents, communications from the DGASPC, any certificate of suitability to adopt already issued, and documents or judgments received. State the habitual residence of those involved and whether the case concerns your spouse’s child. Do not send photographs, medical information or identifying details of the child in the first message; we will agree an appropriate way to provide the necessary documents.
Frequently asked questions
What steps apply if you want to adopt your spouse's child?
When a child is adopted by the spouse of their biological or adoptive parent, Law no. 273/2004 does not require a certificate of suitability to adopt or a pre-adoption placement. The spouse may apply directly to the court for approval of the adoption. The court still checks the required consents and all other applicable conditions. For the consultation, bring the relevant civil status documents and any judgments concerning parentage or parental responsibility (Article 26(b), Article 45(1)(b) and Article 56(1)).
Can approval be guaranteed?
No. The authorities and the court verify the fulfillment of the conditions and the child's interest.
Can you analyze a case with residence abroad?
Yes, to identify the applicable rules and documents; international character is not determined solely by citizenship.
