Socio-Legal Aspects Regarding the Institution of Adoption

Summary/Abstract: In order to be able to analyze the institution of adoption, we must start from the definition of family. Although we live in an evolved society in which the priorities and accents are constantly changing, yet one of the most important things in our lives is still the family - the family in which we were born and raised, or the family we created. The notion of family can be viewed both from a sociological and legal point of view. In the sociological sense, the family, as a specific form of human community, designates the group of persons united by marriage, filiation or kinship, which are characterized by community of life, interests and mutual support. In this sense, it can be said that the family is a social reality through the community of life between spouses, parents and children, as well as other relatives. Within the family relations, moral, psychological, physiological and economic aspects appear between those who form the community of life and the interests. Family relationships have a character of complexity that we do not find in other categories of social relations. In the legal sense, the family designates the group of persons between whom there are rights and obligations, which arise from marriage, kinship, as well as from other relations assimilated to family relationships. In this sense, the family is a legal reality, by its regulation by law.
