Summary/Abstract: This article examines the legislative amendments to the Family Code of December 2023, which introduced the National Electronic Information System for Full Adoption. The focus is on the discrepancy between the new requirements for the registration of adoptive parents and adoptees (Art. 82, para. 1 of the Family Code) and the grounds for voidability (Art. 106, para. 1 of the Family Code). This creates legal uncertainty regarding the stability of the adoptee’s new status. Two competing interpretations of the relevant provisions have been considered. It is argued that de lege ferenda, only the failure to register an adoption should render the adoption voidable.
