Abad Arenas, Encarnación

This article aims at the analysis of the following subject: who can adopt, and who can be adopted, according to Spanish Civil Code and the case law related to this matter. Within this text, it is also taken into account the rules enacted by the Spanish non governmental authorities (the so called Comunidades Autónomas). We take make reference of the fact that these «Comunidades Autónomas» had foreseen the adoptions made by unmarried couple (such as homosexual or heterosexual). Finally, we mention one requirement: the aptitude to adopt. The Spanish Civil Code makes a reference to these criteria, which are also developed in the rules enacted by "Comunidades Autónomas".
