Summary/Abstract: The International Adoption Act (Law 54/2007, of December 28, hereinafter the IAA), is the first special Private International Law (PIL) act issued in Spain. The previous system was characterized by being dispersed. The IAA put an ‘end to the regulatory dispersion characteristic of the previous legislation’, inspired by the ‘interests of the minor’ as a guide to all adoption processes.
