Practice question
A relative-adoption application is otherwise eligible. An officer insists that Section 28 requires the same matching process in every case before a pre-adoption placement authority can issue, solely because regular cases use matching. Which statutory qualification matters?
- Section 28 provides issuance of PAPA in adult or relative adoption without the matching process, while other applicable safeguards remain
- Relative adoption removes every legal requirement
- Every relative can issue a personal adoption order
- No relative may ever adopt
- Matching alone creates legitimacy
Legal references
- RA 11642, Section 28: https://elibrary.judiciary.gov.ph/thebookshelf/showdocs/2/94036
