Adoption in the proposal for a European Parenthood Regulation
Development summary
Aukje Mens’s 2026 article addresses the place of adoption in the proposal for a European Parenthood Regulation and the uncertainties that remain around it. The piece examines the proposal’s unclear scope, whether its jurisdiction and choice-of-law rules apply to adoption, and what legal effects follow from recognising a foreign adoption; it concludes by arguing for an autonomous European Adoption Regulation to govern international adoptions more adequately.
