3 Procedure of Adoption

1. The domestic route: the application to the local level (ward office) — the Code's registration regime: the deed-of-adoption executed and registered; the Children's Act's safeguards for orphaned-and-abandoned children (the child-care home's certification; the matching-and-approval machinery; the investigation of the adopter's suitability); the court's- and-committee's confirmation steps where the statute requires (the institutional-child adoptions);2. The documentary core: the consent-instruments; the child's birth-and-abandonment documentation (the orphanage's-and-police records); the adopter's citizenship-and-status proofs; the registration's evidentiary function (the birth-certificate's reissue in the adoptive name — the identity's legal rebirth);3. The inter-country route: below (Section 8).
