Tensiones entre las garantías, derechos y obligaciones de la filiación por adopción de los niños, niñas y adolescentes en Colombia

Abstract

Adoption is the last measure contemplated by the constitution and the law for the protection and restoration of the rights of children and adolescents and is only generated after a long administrative process that culminates with the declaration of adoptability by the defender of family, in which Family Welfare acts as the central axis. However, this entire process for changing the child's filiation can in many cases culminate in the violation by the state itself of the rights it intended to protect, which is evidenced by phenomena such as high institutionalization.
