Intra-family adoption

Intra-family adoption counselling refers to a situation in which a spouse adopts a child of their spouse. The procedure is similar when a person in a registered partnership adopts their spouse’s child.

In intra-family adoption, the investigative work is not as extensive in all respects as in adoption counselling in general.

Intra-family adoption also requires the consent of the child’s biological parent living elsewhere, and the child is also provided with adoption counselling.
