Simplificación del procedimiento de adopciones en el Ecuador como garantía de los derechos de los niños, niñas y adolescentes

Abstract

Adoption is not only a figure or a legal instrument; it is and should be understood as a protection mechanism for abandoned children and adolescents, the Ecuadorian state must guarantee the reintegration of this group of priority attention to a family in order to ensure compliance with the rights established in our Constitution. In the International Treaties and Conventions that Ecuador has ratified, the State's intention to protect the human rights of this priority attention group is observed, however the social and legal reality is far from these ideals since, as it is observed in the Organic Codes that regulate these adoption processes and also in the Adoption Regulation, the process to be able to adopt is long and tedious, although it can be understood that it must be ensured that the children who are going to be adopted achieve family reintegration with a suitable family and with all the capacities, be they physical, economic and above all psychological affective.
