Abstract

Adoption is a juridical institution of overwhelming importance these days, due to its possibility of moving somebody from a family which it has small attachment to another family, towards which it will, potentially, establish closer and more productive bounds after pondering the social, economic and affective aspects. Nevertheless, because adoption represents a total detachment between people that were previously connect by nature and establishes a new relation of kinship, the State demands that a series of qualification must be achieved before accepting the will of adopt. This work intends to analyze adoption, since its concept, passing through its historic evolution, not only in Brazil, but in other parts of the world, finally arriving in the requisites, prohibitions and peculiarities that shape the juridical act of adopt in our country, examine methodically the prohibition of the adoption of descendants by ascendants, exposing the justifications for its impediment and analyzing if they are coherent or not.
