| Description | The article aims at finding an answer to the question of whether abandoning an unregistered child or applying for a hidden identity by his or her mother makes the ‘way’ of the child to a substitute family by adoption easier. Further, attention is paid to surrogate motherhood. These topics are linked to the right of the child to know his or her origin. As the harmony between biological, social and legal parentage and the model of ‘continuing’ parenting are values, the well-balanced rights and duties of both the child's parents and the best interest of the child are stressed. The final words are focused on alternative measures and interdisciplinary collaboration, besides public law instruments. |
