Abstract

During a long time in France, the legal provisions relating to the adoption of 196, which were amended in 1976, only stifle the issue of the adoption of a foreign child. The only specific measures of international adoption are the extension of the authorisation requirement for the reception of a foreign child, (1985) the introduction of an authorisation for adoption works taking place abroad (1986) and the creation of the Inter-ministerial Mission for International Adoption at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (1987). At international level, France has signed two conventions: the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child of 20 November 1989, which calls on States to reconsider their adoption arrangements and to implement its general principles and the Hague Convention of 29 May 1993 on the Protection of Children and Cooperation in Respect of International Adoption, which aims to moralise the movement of displaced children for the purpose of adoption. The new law of 5 July 1996 on adoption reform the right of adoption. The law aims to bring French positive law into line with the International Hague Convention of 29 May 1993 on the Protection of Children and Cooperation in Respect of International Adoption. It is against this background that this research takes place. In addition to reflecting on the processes of normative production in the field of adoption law and international law, the normative regulations of the social practices of the bodies involved in the process, this research analyses the adoptive family with its area of identity for everyday and concrete life, with its imaginary and symbolic territory of personal and social relations. International adoption is at the heart of conflicts of laws in the strong sense of the term. The rules of private international law, the recognition of foreign judgments and the law applicable to adoption in France are the work of the case-law. The content of the laws of some countries differs from French law. Granting plenary adoption leads to a break in the watertight links. However, in the majority of countries of origin, the law only provides for an adoption that can be revoked. In many countries, including Muslim religion, adoption is prohibited. What are the consequences of these rights and practices which are based on the same principles as French law? The adoptive family is also a place for transmission, reproduction of social norms and traditions. What is the right for all adopted children to know their origins with their natural family? The report shall, on the basis of a sociological survey, reflect on these questions.
