Modificación sobre la adopción de personas mayores de 18 hasta 21 años.

Abstract

This thesis focuses on the modification of the adult adoption process in Ecuador, a topic that, although uncommon, requires a clear and pragmatic legal framework. The study analyzes article 157 of the Children and Adolescents Code, mainly; where the four exceptions are contemplated for the adoption of people over 18 years of age and under 21. Through a contrasting study of national and international legislation, it is possible to identify the deficiencies and details faced by adopters and adoptees. Thus, the implementation of more agile procedures for this age group is proposed, including security and emotional stability mechanisms for the adult adoptee, without the need to follow a process as extensive and rigorous as for those under eighteen years of age. The recommendations seek an adoption that is carried out in an efficient, transparent and agile manner; with an approach that protects the needs and rights of the adult adoptee.
