Summary/Abstract: This text concerns novelization of the 1967 European Convention on the adoption of children and the 1975 European Convention on the status of the children born out of wedlock. It describes the process of looking for the minimum standards compatible with social, medical and legal changes of the our-days societies. Some attempts undertaken on this fields shows difficulties in setting up a minimal model of protection of children’s and adults members’ of a family rights. Not without controversies a new revised version of the European Convention on adoption of children was acceptedin 2008. The novelization of the second among indicated treaties has not been successful yet. The Council of Europe tried to develop a Recommendation on the rights and legal status of children and parental responsibilities as a first step towards a new Convention, however the draft has finally not been approved. The whole process shows lack of consensus with regard to a direction of legal standards’ development, as far as they concern place of a child within a family and a society and a vision of a family.
