Abstract

The adoption institute is conceptualized as an act of will, where someone is assumed as a child, by a subject or subjects, who are not their biological parents. For its occurrence, it is essential to mention, there are some requirements, which have changed over the years, with the enactment and updating of legislation. Thus, with the emergence of the Statute for Children and Adolescents and the Federal Constitution of 1988, aiming at the full protection of minors and their absolute priority, it starts a new perspective in the face of adoption and minors are now considered as detaining subjects of all rights and their vulnerability, with the need for joint action by the State, the family and society. It should also be mentioned that it has been adopting greater simplification in favor of the need for measures in the face of these sheltered children and adolescents, in order to even avoid irregularities. The present work is considered to be of paramount importance, since it seeks to understand how the Brazilian adoption system has been working, its advances and mainly the current legislation, at the same time that it realizes that society as a whole is responsible for children and adolescents, in the face of constitutional statements.
