Practice question
Biological relatives and prospective adopters sign a notarized private agreement declaring a child permanently adopted. No NACC adoption order has been issued, and the parties say their agreement alone replaces the statutory process. Which conclusion is best?
- Notarization makes every adoption final
- A private agreement does not replace RA 11642’s required administrative determination and order
- Every relative’s consent necessarily proves every qualification
- The child’s surname change alone is the order
- A private notary becomes the NACC by consent
Legal references
- RA 11642, Sections 30-34: https://elibrary.judiciary.gov.ph/thebookshelf/showdocs/2/94036
