Adoption
Adoption is a process whereby a person assumes the
parenting of another, usually a child, from that person's biological or legal parent or parents, and, in so doing, permanently transfers all
rights and responsibilities, along with
filiation, from the biological parent or parents. Unlike
guardianship or other systems designed for the care of the young, adoption is intended to effect a permanent change in status and as such requires societal recognition, either through legal or religious sanction. Historically, some societies have enacted specific laws governing adoption; where others have tried to achieve adoption through less formal means, notably via contracts that specified
inheritance rights and
parental responsibilities without an accompanying transfer of
filiation. Modern systems of adoption, arising in the 20th century, tend to be governed by comprehensive
statutes and regulations.
