El proceso de adopción en Ecuador vulnera los principios de eficiencia procesal y celeridad.

Abstract

This paper focuses on the current problems in the adoption processes in the Republic of Ecuador and how the current procedure to access adoption violates several fundamental principles of the minors and the parties, including the process of procedural efficiency and procedural celerity. The purpose of this paper is to focus on the normative and procedural aspects that lead to these violations within the process in order to provide recommendations and solutions that allow minors within the adoption system to have easier access, but equally safe, to a family that provides them with the needs that all minors deserve due to their conditions of vulnerability and rights. A normative analysis of international norms will be developed, including those related to the human rights of minors in order to take as a reference the foreign norms and doctrine and apply them to the failures and gaps found in the norms and processes of the Ecuadorian adoption system. In order to conclude this work, we will verify the legal problems mentioned above and offer a series of recommendations to improve these aspects in order to continue avoiding violations to the fundamental rights of minors.
