Opinion 134 "Adoption: increasing the transparency of procedures to promote the objectivity and quality of choices".
The Minister for Solidarity and Health and the Secretary of State for Child Protection have asked the CCNE for an opinion on the definition of the adoption project and the criteria for matching a ward of the State with an adoptive family. They wished to consult the CCNE, firstly on the framework and practices for preparing and supporting prospective adoptive parents, particularly with regard to formalizing their adoption project, and secondly on the elements, principles or criteria that should guide the guardian and family council in the process of matching a ward of the State with an adoptive family.
The questioning thus focuses on the need to "ensure that the child's best interests take precedence in all decisions concerning him or her", by preventing any discrimination between adoptive families at the two distinct stages of the adoption process: the approval of prospective adoptive parents; and the matching, which consists of giving the adopted child the approved family that best suits his or her needs.
