Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present selected problems of the proceeding of foreign adoption as it is understood according to The Family and Guardianship Code. The author presents arguments how the legal term ‘suitable’, which is used in Convention to the Rights of the Child and The Family and Guardianship Code, should be understood. An analysis of the term ‘suitable’ requires looking up Polish regulations concerning foster care. Furthermore, the article describes the issue of domestic jurisdiction and governing law of adoption. Text is clearer, because it shows all stages of adoption resulting in the adoptee’s changing his/her current place of residence in Poland to stay in another country.
