Ampliando-se o alcance do direito à família: crítica ao caráter excepcional da adoção internacional

Abstract

This monograph will deal with the need to stop treating international adoption, once a corollary of the fundamental right to the family, as a secondary and exceptional alternative. Through the deductive and dialectical methods, the aforementioned expedient will be analyzed and a dialogue will be established between the fundamental rights to the family and the regular growth and development of the child and the adolescent, contrasting them with the current understanding about the exceptionality of the now mentioned modality of the institute of adoption. In the end, it will be concluded that the exceptional character of international adoption is improper, and that its status as a national adoption must therefore be considered.
